Bucharest’s General Council (CGMB) approved on Wednesday, June 25, the partnership agreement for the development of subway line M7, a major public infrastructure project aimed at connecting Bragadiru to Voluntari. The agreement brings together Bucharest\u2019s District 5 and District 2 City Halls, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, the subway operator Metrorex, and the Ilfov County Council.<\/p>\n
According to District 5 mayor Vlad Popescu Piedone, the CGMB decision marks the start of the new subway line M7, which will include 15 stations across a 13-kilometer stretch.<\/p>\n
The mayor also said the project will help reduce pollution, ease road traffic congestion, lower accident rates, and improve public health.<\/p>\n
District 5 City Hall, acting as project leader, will initiate the funding request under the 2021\u20132027 Transport Programme to conduct the feasibility study for the Bragadiru\u2013Voluntari subway segment.<\/p>\n
The new line is part of the Bucharest\u2013Ilfov Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and aligns with the 2016\u20132030 underground transport development strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once completed, M7 will link the southwestern and northeastern areas of the capital, passing through key densely populated neighborhoods such as Rahova, Unirii Square, Calea Mo\u0219ilor, Colentina, and Voluntari.<\/p>\n\n
