Preparations for the construction of the section between Bóly and Ivándárda (national border) are taking place as a continuation of the M6 motorway. Another good news is that on the other side of the border, in Croatia, the construction of the motorway section between Osijek and Pélmonostor on the Hungarian border has already begun.

As the Hungarian news portal, HelloVidék reports-

we do not have to wait any longer for the construction of the new section of M6 motorway on the Hungarian-Croatian border between Bóly-Ivándárda.

The progress of land acquisition is currently 98%. The archaeological test excavations were carried out between August 2019 and October 2019. Experts examined a total of 15 archaeological sites. During the trial excavation of these sites, a large number of archaeological values were discovered, including a late Neolithic circular ditch system and settlement parts from the Árpádian and Iron Age.

In the meantime, construction work on the motorway section has also begun on the other side of the border, in Croatia. According to Croatian plans, the section of the A5 motorway between the Drava Bridge in Osijek and Pélmonostor may be built by the summer of 2022.

The implementation of the continuation to the Hungarian border can start next year, in 2021; and be completed by 2023, based on the best-case scenario.

It is no coincidence that the new motorway section is a high priority for the Croatian government: it is an integral part of the so-called 5C transport corridor.

The section between Bóly and Ivándárda is almost 20 km long, including:

complex rest area at Nagynyárád;
67-meter open-air bridge across the railway line;
complex inspection site (two bridges, two-axle weights and parking lots) at Ivándárda;
Fifty-seven main engineering roads with office buildings, gas station and parking lots.

Meanwhile, within the framework of the project of the M60 Pécs-Barcs section, construction planning of the M60 motorway will continue, which will lead from Pécs to the Hungarian-Croatian border by touching Barcs.
