The project will be continued with phase II Vasile Pârvan - Uranus, for which the hypothesis that a 37 m segment of the route will be an underground passage behind the Parliament Palace is being analyzed. Source of information:The lack of information made public by PMB was filled in as follows: (1) on-site inspection, for the involvement of Apolodor SA(2) top plans, photographs, plans(3) other reconstructed sources(4) until 2005, when a downgrading occurred, the number of monuments was 14. Out of the 13 existing in 2006, one (G. Coșbuc House) seems to have been "forgotten" in the recent documents on the diametral, although a portion of a sidewalk was originally drawn in its place.

Three other monuments, since demolished, have had declassification orders granted without following the procedure, although in two cases the extension of monument status was applied for and obtained in court, but they were demolished. Two other objectives are not classified individually, but as part of an ensemble, one of which has been demolished.(5) estimate by Asociația Salvați Bucureștiul Note: Unlike the Basarab Passage, there is no dedicated web page for the Buzești - Berzei - Uranus project on the PMB website.
