A QUICK OVERVIEW

At the end of 2018, work began on the renovation of a major traffic intersection in the centre of Budapest, Fiumei Street – Salgótarjáni Street.

Here the tram lines 24, 28 and 37 cross the highly frequented Fiumei Street.

Until the renewal the three tram lines ran on wooden sleepers set in concrete. This construction method was retained.
During the renewal, the wooden sleepers were simply replaced by durable and robust STRAILway sleepers.

Since the beginning of 2019, all traffic has been crossing the STRAILway polymer sleepers.

Half of the superstructure is set in concrete.
