Hungary Floods Update: Budapest Mayor We Have Taken Our City Back
- 26 Sep 2024 6:04 PM
The embankments on both sides of the Danube in Budapest have been re-opened to traffic, Gergely Karacsony, the city's mayor, said on Thursday, declaring that "we have taken our city back from the flood."
On the weekend, the Pest side of the embankment will reopen to pedestrians and cyclists, Karacsony said on Facebook.
Margaret Island remains closed to traffic for the time being, he said, explaining that municipal park manager FOKERT will be inspecting the trees there because the soil has loosened.
In another post, the mayor said cleanup of the tram tunnel on the Pest bridgehead of Chain Bridge was under way. This will be followed by the structural and power cable inspections in the afternoon and at night, he added.
