VIDEO: Newest musical highway inaugurated in Hungary!
Change language:
On Monday 28 November, a musical highway was inaugurated in Hungary. A ten-kilometre stretch of the widened four-lane Highway 37 between Újharagod and Bekecs was opened. The unusual thing is that one section of the road is “making music”!
The four-laning works on the 19-kilometre section of the main road between Gesztely and Szerencs in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county started in May 2021. The newly opened ten-kilometre section has been opened to traffic in the lanes leading to Miskolc and Szerencs.
As part of the development, two new lanes have been added to the existing Highway 37. What is more, the previously used sections have been renovated This means that motorists can now use 2×2 lanes from Miskolc to Szerencs.
New techniques were used
The investor, National Infrastructure Development (NIF) Ltd, has implemented several new traffic engineering solutions during the construction. They also installed a so-called Bluesystem road restraint system on a seven-kilometre stretch of road.
According to the NIF, they also completed the construction of the concrete circular tracks for all four roundabouts. They also completed the final construction of the side roads connecting to the roundabouts. On top of that, the NIF started the trial run of the street lighting.
Nice!
In the Netherlands once there was also such a “music highway”
After a few weeks it was turned back to a “normal highway”
People tried to play the music as fast as possible and drive too fast. And people of the next village getting mad of the continuous same melody.
