The subway Line 1 in Bucharest resumed normal traffic on Thursday morning, July 2, after a roughly 28-hour intervention to remove water brought by heavy rainfall in the Victorei Square 2 station. The station, one of the busiest in the city, had been temporarily closed on Wednesday morning due to the water.
Victorei Square 2 subway station was one of the areas hardest hit by the powerful storm that struck Bucharest on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, June 30 and July 1. Bucharest received more than 92% of its average monthly June rainfall in just 10 hours of the storm.
