Attention! New phase of roadworks at Budapest Airport starts with a longer travel time

The fourth phase of the renewal of the expressway leading from Budapest city centre to the Budapest Airport will begin on Monday (22 April). As a result, cars coming from Budapest will only be able to use one lane instead of two in the junction connecting the airport with the M4 motorway.

New phase resulting in lane closure and traffic congestion

According to turizmus.com, the new phase will last until next Friday (26 April). The Hungarian Concession Infrastructure Development Plc. (MKIF) said they would not close the junction connecting the airport with the M4 motorway. M4 is the “expressway” connecting the airport with Budapest and the rest of the country. They wrote they would only close the exit lane from Budapest to the airport.

Therefore, Budapest Airport will remain available from every direction. However, cars speeding from Budapest to the airport can use one lane instead of two. As a result, the MKIF said longer journey times and traffic congestion will start on Monday (22 April).

You should calculate longer travel times to Budapest Airport

The company reminded us that the scheduled renewal of the M4 – Budapest Airport junction started on 2 April. The roadworks will last until mid-May. Because of the resurfacing, lane closures and traffic diversions are permanent.

They asked all drivers to pay attention while passing the traffic diversions. They recommended all passengers calculate longer travel times from Budapest to the airport.
