The safety of the workers performing dangerous work on the scaffolding, as well as those driving under the work area, could not be ensured while maintaining road traffic, which is why it was necessary to temporarily close the road section from 20 June. Thanks to the fact that the specialists proceeded with the renovation according to the plans, the scaffolding that necessitated the closure was dismantled at the Buda bridgehead of the crossing in recent days, reports the BKK.

They added: the closed quay section - between Halász street and Döbrentei square - will not be returned to traffic after the successful completion of the works related to the renovation of the Chain Bridge, only after the national holiday on 20 August and the dismantling of the event equipment for the fireworks, on 22 August.
