In Banská Bystrica, major infrastructure renovations have commenced. The project includes the restoration of the Clock Tower (Hodinová veža) on Námestie SNP, involving the installation of heating cables to prevent ice, the replacement of wooden flooring with composite boards, and the restoration of wooden doors. The observation walkway is temporarily closed to the public.

Simultaneously, reconstruction work has begun on the bridge connecting the Radvaň and Fončorda districts. Following a technical diagnosis that revealed significant deterioration of the central pillar caused by weather and stray electrical currents, officials decided to remove the entire pillar and construct a new one. Demolition of the structure began in early October, with work on the new base layer expected to follow the completion of the demolition phase.
