The launch of the first TBM for the northern section of Metro Line 6 in Bucharest has occurred, but financial issues and technical challenges may delay its opening until 2032. The TBM, named "Sfânta Parascheva," will bore the tunnel from Tokyo to Otopeni, while another TBM will follow after a few months. Despite the launch, significant obstacles remain, including incomplete funding and unresolved utility relocations. The southern section may be ready by 2028, but the northern section could take until the end of 2030. The completion timeline heavily depends on securing necessary funds, as multiple projects compete for limited resources.
