Hungary’s cycle path network close to 15,000 km by 2030
Hungary’s cycle path network will add up to almost 15,000 kilometres by 2030, a Ministry of Innovation and Technology (ITM) official said on Saturday.
The ITM is steadily improving cycling infrastructure within and between localities, as well as financing the 50 billion forint (€ 136.7 million) construction of 850 kilometres of bicycle paths nationwide, state secretary for transport development, László Mosoczi, said in Écs, in north-western Hungary, inaugurating the cycle path connecting Gyor and Pannonhalma as part of the government’s Modern Cities scheme. The 18.4 kilometre cycle path cost a net 1.7 billion forints (€ 4,720) to build.
He noted that the entire cycle path network around Lake Balaton is being revamped and a cycle route between Budapest and Lake Balaton will be built.

Hungary, he added, is the third most important cycling nation in Europe. The government has achieved much to integrate isolated “islands” of cycle systems into a national network, he added.
National road company Hungarian Public Roads Nonprofit took over the maintenance of more than a 1,000kms of cycle paths from the local governments, he noted.
