The Recovery and Resilience Facility provides EUR 110.5 million for the construction of a section of line 3 of the Sofia metro for a total length of 3 km covering 3 stations, which will provide a clean, rapid and efficient public transport service to passengers with intermodal connections.
The investment is expected to allow the transport of 7.6 million passengers per year on average as of 2026.
By enhancing public transport for the city’s inhabitants, this project is expected to lead to a reduction in greenhouse gases and air pollution, and a reduction in the number of cars in circulation in the city.
The contracts on the construction works have been signed and the implementation is ongoing.
The investment is expected to be completed by 31 December 2025.
