History
[edit]In 2011, construction started on the first section of the M5.[1][2] The expected construction cost was €708.6 million.[3] Opened on 15 September 2020, the first section, Râul Doamnei to Eroilor is around 7 km (4.3 mi) long with 10 stations.
After that, the line will be extended to Iancului, and from there under Iancului Road (Șoseaua Iancului) until it reaches the Pantelimon station of M1.
