Budapest’s landmark Chain Bridge will be closed to pedestrians until the completion of its renovation, starting next Wednesday 16 March, scheduled in 2023, the Budapest transport centre BKK said.

The bridge will also be closed to car traffic from mid-June, BKK said.

Bus services over the bridge will be free of charge between Clark Ádám Square and Széchenyi István Square, it added.

The bridge is planned to be reopened for vehicles in December 2022 and the entire revamp is scheduled to be completed in August 2023.
