Chain Bridge & Castle Tunnel Closure Confirmed
- 7 Apr 2017 10:35 AM
The iconic Chain Bridge and nearby castle tunnel will be closed for at least two years from this summer due to reconstruction work, Budapest City Council confirmed this week, with costs estimated at Ft 22.3 billion.
The council unanimously supported the reconstruction project.
Work is planned to start in the summer and last through the end of 2019.
The renovation is necessary because the bridge’s load-bearing capacity is inadequate.
