History

The station works on line 4, which Grivița station is part of, starting in December 1989 but were stopped because of budgetary deficiences in 1994. In the following period the only operations that took place were of evacuating water accumulated from seepage from the unfinished walls, which were subsequently stopped in order to prevent the deformation of the tunnels.^[2]

In 1997 a loan was obtained from the European Investment Bank for co-financing the „Modernizarea metroului din București - etapa I” project which restarted the works.^[2] The station was opened on 1 March 2000 together with the initial section of line 4: Gara de Nord II - 1 Mai.^[3]

The station has suffered modifications over the years.

The walls were painted in pink sometime in the 2000s - 2010s and tactile paving was mounted towards the end of 2022 for visually impaired people.
