Mészáros’s close business associate wins multi-billion Danube bridge project
Change language:
Mészáros’s close business associate gets to build the new multi-billion Danube bridge that will connect Paks and Kalocsa. The Duna Aszfalt company has about 40 months to finish the job that will cost around 260 million euros (92 billion forints).
As Daily News Hungary reported, a monumental 1,133-metre-long bridge got the permission in January 2020 to be built between Hungarian towns Paks and Kalocsa and to be connected to motorway M6. The aim is to make traffic faster and more convenient for drivers in the future.
The winner of this multi-billion tender was announced this Tuesday, G7 reports. The results might not shock you.
The job goes to an old pal and business partner of Lőrinc Mészáros, László Szíjj. Szíjj has a construction company called Duna Aszfalt, which will build the new bridge and the accompanying roads for approximately 260 million euros. This is officially the most expensive project of its kind in Hungarian history.
As mentioned before, the project consists not only of the construction of the 1.1-km-long bridge but also of the construction of the 13-km road connecting the bridge with motorway M6. The bridge and the 13 km-long road has an estimated cost of 220 million euros.
How strange, how unusual….
Perhaps Mario would feel more comfortable if “ATLANTIA” – a major Italian company listed on the Milan stock exchange – had been chosen for this major HUNGARIAN infrastructure project.
Wait a minute, wasn’t “ATLANTIA” the Italian company responsible for maintenance of that bridge in Italy which collapsed a few years ago ?
Yet again, Mario should “SHADDAPA-HIS-FACE”.
Mario hasn’t right! It isn’t surprise, that Mészáros’s close business associate gets to build the new multi-billion Danube bridge! Nowadays unfortunately, this is a trend!
