The mayor of Bucharest, Ciprian Ciucu, discussed the ongoing construction sites in the city, emphasizing their necessity to avoid losing European funding and permits. He explained that the modernization of tram lines is crucial as the infrastructure has not been updated for 50 years, leading to operational issues with new trams. Ciucu acknowledged the discomfort caused by multiple simultaneous projects but assured that the long-term benefits would outweigh the temporary inconveniences. He stated that while some projects could have been staggered, it was essential to address them all at once to prevent losing funding. Completion timelines vary, with some projects expected to finish in a few months and others taking longer due to their complexity.
