Florenc metro station reopens following emergency repairs

Traffic at Prague’s Florenc station on the C metro line was fully restored on Tuesday evening following emergency repairs. The station had been closed since Sunday due to a severe water leak from a damaged pipe. The accident happened during surface construction work. According to the company responsible it was not the fault of workers at the site. An investigation found that the spontaneous disconnection of pipes about forty metres from the work site was caused by a change in soil pressure.
