The Sector 4 City Hall will sign next week the contract for the design and execution of the extension of the M4 subway line, which will include 14 new stations between Gara de Nord and Gara Progresul.

Daniel Băluță stated that the works will begin with the design of the Gara de Nord – Eroii Revoluției section, followed by the transition to lot 2, between Eroii Revoluției and Gara Progresul. The Turkish-Bulgarian association Dogus – Trace won the bid for the execution of the first section, after the complaint of another contractor was rejected. The project has a total length of approximately 11 kilometers and a value of over 2 billion euros, with an estimated non-reimbursable funding of 2.5 billion euros.

The works are scheduled to last a maximum of 60 months, with the first eight months dedicated to design. The new line will cross sectors 1, 4, and 5, including the Jilava commune, and will include a modern depot with a park&ride parking lot.
