Highway construction
On Thursday, the missing section of the M6 motorway to Croatia was opened to traffic.
A consortium of Strabag and Duna Aszfalt built the almost 20 km long section south of Bóly to the national border at Ivándárda on time by the end of January. Hungary has thus kept its commitment to complete the domestic section of the Ten-T road transport network from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic by 2024. The project cost the state a net 88.6 billion forints, which was provided from the national budget.
The M6 motorway along the Danube was initially built between Budapest and Dunaújváros in 2006. Only four years later the southern motorway was built to Bóly. But then Pécs took priority: the M60 was built between Mohács and the county capital of Baranya. Because the main traffic artery between Hungary and Croatia was undoubtedly laid via the M7 between Budapest, Balaton and Zagreb, the continuation of the M6 to connect to Osijek in Croatia turned out to be a sideshow. The Croats want to hand over the last missing section on their side in the second half of 2025. Mohács, in turn, should be connected to the expressway network by 2026.
