VIDEO: New expressway nearly completed connecting Győr with Baroque Hungarian city

Győr is one of Hungary’s biggest automotive hubs hosting the Audi, which employs tens of thousands of local workers in the region and is a flagship of Hungary’s industry. However, Győr is also an astonishing Hungarian city, worth a visit on your way from Vienna to Budapest or vice versa. It is almost halfway between the two capitals. And soon, you will be able to reach the Baroque pearl of Transdanubia, Pápa, on a brand new expressway.

Thanks to that development, the travel time between Győr and Pápa will considerably shorten. Currently, you need almost 40 minutes to get from one city to the other. Once the new road is inaugurated, the travel time will drop below 30 minutes.

HERE is an article about 6+1 things to do and see while in Pápa.

The video team of Magyar Építők, a Hungarian construction-focused news outlet, went to the construction site and recorded the ongoing works. They wrote that the project was almost at the finish line. The subcontractors are Soltút Plc és a Duna Aszfalt Ltd, two Hungarian construction companies.

The development concerns a 36-kilometres-long section of main road nr 83 connecting Pápa, Hungary’s Baroque pearl, with the city of the bridges, Győr, Transdanubia’s industrial hub. Four “milestones” are left to be completed: painting the road signs, installing the necessary traffic signs, grassing and developing the systems of the operator’s telecommunication.
