Metrorex, the company running the metro system, mentioned that the project has also undergone checks from the Audit Authority and the Managing Authority of the Operational Programme on Transport, which haven’t revealed anything that would contravene national and European regulations and procedures.
The costs for Bucharest’s metro line 5 are estimated at RON3.2 billion, RON2.65 of which are non-reimbursable European Union funds within the Operational Programme Transport for 2007 – 2013 and the Large Infrastructure Operational Programme for 2014 – 2020.
Construction works for metro line 5 started in 2011 and were supposed to be completed in 2014. According to the most recent estimates, the line will become functional in 2019.
