Details of a new Hungarian motorway and rail ring road revealed, featuring new Danube bridge
János Lázár, Minister of Construction and Transport, spoke about the V0 railway ring road bypassing Budapest and the new motorway ring road to relieve the Hungarian capital’s traffic congestion, in Dunaújváros on 29 May.
According to Magyarépítők, the M8 motorway will be one of Hungary’s most prominent road projects, stretching from the M7 motorway to Kecskemét via Sárbogárd and Dunaújváros. This also means the government has no plans to build the M1 (Vienna-Budapest) and M7 (Budapest-Balaton-Slovenia) motorway sections. He said the construction plans will be ready this year, and the implementation will start in the next four years.
He said that after the Hungarian government had agreed with the Chinese government to build the V0 rail ring road, its rail bridge over the Danube “can only be built in one place in Hungary, a few kilometres north of Dunaújváros, because of the interoperability of the river”.
The full trail was first discussed last autumn. Even then, they said that the route would cross the river above Dunaújváros using Line 5, and from there to Szolnok. In the long term, Főmterv expects that the V0, which will provide a fast link between Hungary’s eastern and western borders, will eventually become “congested” due to the increase in the volume of goods transported and the number of trains, and that it will be necessary to bypass the city.
In time (25 to 30 years), Székesfehérvár, which will be affected by the high-speed railway, will also have to be avoided. But the question is, what will be the right solution for Kecskemét? This city could be crossed by twice the number of trains seen today, and avoiding the city could cause social conflict and would be complicated by the extensive farmland.
As we wrote earlier, during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Budapest, 18 important agreements were signed between Hungary and China. These include the construction of a rail ring road bypassing Budapest and a high-speed railway connecting Budapest Airport with the capital, details HERE.
He also noted that the most important rail crossing point would be next to the city, as will the M8 motorway, creating a “Budapest logistics ring” to create jobs, businesses, and regional profits.
