Sofia to invest over 200 million euro for the subway expansion project
Mayor of Sofia Yordanka Fandakova declared that Sofia’s municipality is investing over 200 million euro of its own funds for the extension project of the subway in the capital city.
The investment envisaged in the EU-funded Bulgarian national recovery and resilience plan cover only 47% of the value of the project for construction of two new subway sections with a total length of 9 km, Fandakova said in a statement published on her Facebook profile.
Metropoliten, the company operating Sofia’s subway, said earlier this year that it has launched a tender for a 270 million euro expansion of Line 3 with six new stations. The new section of 5.67 km will link the Tsarigradsko Shose boulevard to the Slatina district, in the eastern part of Sofia.
The Sofia subway system currently comprises four lines with 52 km of tracks and 47 stations.
