Grivița is a metro station in northern Bucharest. The station was opened on 1 March 2000 as part of the inaugural section of the line from Gara de Nord to 1 Mai. It is located near the Grivița railroad workshops.

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.

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. The station was opened on 1 March 2000 together with the initial section of line 4: Gara de Nord II - 1 Mai.

The station has suffered modifications over the years.

Because it has bare walls (similar to 1 Mai metro station), the walls are prone to dampness. To improve their appearance and to protect them, the walls have been repainted (most recently in 2020 in pink) and treated with polyurethane resins.

Tactile paving was mounted towards the end of 2022 for visually impaired people.
