„In 2017, Metrorex SA benefits from the total amount of EUR 75.7 million, a sufficient amount to keep up with the assumed commitments of commissioning and schedules”, Metrorex informs.
Regarding Line 5, according to the company, the finalisation of works for Raul Doamnei-Eroilor section, including Valea Ialomitei Station, is estimated for the first half of 2018, although, according to the initial schedule, it should have been commissioned at the end of the year.
„However, the placing in service with passengers will depend on the resolution of legal contests or on resuming the tender for the procurement of new trains and on launching the acquisition of the traffic safety system (to equip the new trains)”, the company says.
The underground transport operator says they had already initiated the safety system acquisition by using the existing rolling stock and installing the equipment on the vehicles of the existing rolling stock fleet.
