Major lane closures and traffic jams expected on Budapest’s busiest motorway access roads

Resurfacing work begins on one of Budapest’s busiest access roads. The M0-M7 junction from the M5 motorway to the M7-Balaton direction will be opened on Tuesday, 1 October 2024, according to a statement by Magyar Közút Nonprofit Zrt.

The reconstruction of the junction will be carried out in several phases, with the introduction of lane closures, Magyar Közút says. The works are expected to be completed by 15 October 2024, and the restrictions will be signposted. Speed restrictions and increased journey times are expected in the area.

During the first phase of the works, from Tuesday to Sunday, 1 to 6 October 2024, the inner lane of the M0 motorway M5 will be closed on the M7-Balaton section of the M0 motorway from the M5 motorway to the M7-Balaton, so traffic will be limited to one lane on the connecting section.

From Monday, 7 October 2024, until 15 October 2024, the outer lane of the M5 motorway will be closed in the M7-Balaton direction, so traffic will still be limited to one lane on part of the slip road. On the M7 motorway towards Balaton, the M7 motorway will be closed due to construction works on the slip road. During the works, access from the M0 motorway to the M7 motorway will be guaranteed at all times.

Road users are advised to check the current traffic situation related to the restriction and the work on the M7 motorway before departure at the Magyar Közút Nonprofit Zrt.

As we wrote earlier, expect long traffic delays on the other Hungarian motorway as two-week construction begins. Details are HERE.
