The construction work with traffic restrictions will start on Friday, February 18th, in Petőfi square, Debrecen. As part of the Green City Program, the transformation of Petőfi square will begin next week. The area will be renewed on 17,000 square meters.
The work is taking place in two phases. The construction of a temporary road had already begun on 11th February. During the works, the road sections and car parks that handle traffic will be closed, and the traffic order in the surrounding streets will change. The sidewalks in front of the residential buildings and shops – separated from the work area by a cordon – will be usable for pedestrians.
Phase I
The temporary traffic order during Phase I of the construction is expected to run from February 18th, 2022 to May 27th. During the first phase of the renovation of the public utilities, the section of Holló János street between Piac street and Vármegyeháza street and the section of the Petőfi square service road between Holló János street and Iparkamara street will be closed. A two-way traffic order will be established in Vármegyeháza street, therefore stopping will be prohibited in the parallel parking lots on the street. A one-way temporary crushed stone road will be created in the area of the square, which will provide vehicle traffic between Piac street and Iparkamara street. The construction of the temporary road began on February 11th and is expected to take a week.
A loading area will be designated for the shops on Petőfi square at the junction of Iparkamara street.
