Starting September 7, traffic resumes on Basarab Passage after extensive repairs, but concerns arise over the condition of pedestrian areas. Mayor Ciprian Ciucu highlighted the focus on reopening traffic before school starts, with significant work done on the road surface and bridge structure. However, the pedestrian access shows signs of neglect, including rust and damage, raising safety questions among residents. The city plans further improvements by the end of the year, but many feel the repairs are insufficient, particularly for non-vehicle users. The passage, inaugurated in 2011, has faced maintenance issues due to unresolved disputes with the original contractor.
