Good news for motorists! Another road section to be opened in Hungary soon

The final section of the M6 motorway is currently undergoing a trial operation and the technical handover procedure, bringing joy to the entire region upon its completion.

On behalf of the Ministry of Construction and Transport, a consortium of STRABAG Építő Llc and Duna Aszfalt Plc is the contractor for the 20 km long section. The road section between Boly and Ivánvárda was built as part of the HUF 88.6 billion (EUR 230,174,259) net investment.

It has been a long-standing plan to extend the Hungarian M6 motorway to the Hungarian border. The construction of the traffic engineering works started in early autumn 2023, and now another important milestone has been reached. The trial operation and the technical handover procedure are already underway.

Gábor Boldizsár, head of construction at Duna Aszfalt Plc, told Magyar Építők that a number of special and difficult tasks had to be solved. One of the latter was a wildlife crossing with a unique arch and size.

“We are currently finalising the landscaping, dismantling and removal of temporary facilities, as well as cleaning the pavements. Additionally, we are installing benches, waste bins, and bicycle racks at the TSM station,” Boldizsár revealed to Magyar Építők.

Moreover, test runs of systems engineering, water treatment technology and electrical systems are already underway. This investment holds great significance as it extends the M6 motorway to the border, aiding in the development of the region’s infrastructure.

The completion of this final section will enable the safe and efficient movement of transit traffic between Northern and Southern Europe. Furthermore, it marks the culmination of the Hungarian section of the TEN-T corridor, which connects the regions of the Adriatic and Baltic Seas.
