Hungary to extend M6 motorway and build new bridge in Mohács by 2028

Construction and Transportation Minister János Lázár met with Mohács (S Hungary) city leaders to discuss developments on Thursday.

At a press conference with Mayor Gábor Pávkovics after the meeting, Lázár said the M6 motorway would be extended to Mohács by 2026 and the city’s bridge spanning the Danube would be completed by the summer of 2028 along with a 19m connection between the bridge and the 51 primary road at a cost of HUF 390 billion (EUR ). Afterwards, a dual carriageway will be built between Baja, to the north of Mohács, and the southern border, he added.

Lázár said railway developments were also being weighed in the interest of turning Mohács into a logistics hub.

He added that HUF 10bn had been earmarked for a memorial at the site of the Battle of Mohács, in time to mark the 500th anniversary on August 29, 2026.

Lázár also visited Baja, where he met with Mayor Bernadett Bari. He said Baja and Mohács could become a commercial centre and a transport hub for people and goods.
