Over the past two years (2023 and 2024), we laid 8.7 million square metres of new asphalt on the tracks we maintain, replacing both the base and the binding layer under the top wearing course where necessary. The works comprised the renewal of 237 bridges and flyovers, including the Kőröshegy Valley Bridge, and the renovation of 40 rest stops.

According to our contract with the Hungarian State, of the 1,237 km of motorway network taken over by us for operation, maintenance and renewal in September 2022, about 540 km must be brought up to the same technical standard as the rest within three years, by 31 August this year. 

The biggest express road upgrade in Hungary’s history will continue this year, after the holiday weekend of 15 March, and is expected to start on 17 March. In 2025, a further 3.2 million square metres of motorways operated by MKIF Plc. are planned to be resurfaced, representing 16% of the main track. We will also renovate 40 bridges and 30 rest stops. Among other things, the necessary technical renovation of Pentele bridge will continue. Here we are replacing bearings and dilatation joints, and we are building a new bridge on the M7 motorway to replace the old pedestrian and cycle bridge in Velence. 

In 2025, most of the work is planned on the M3, M7, M1 and M35 motorways, but we are also working on 7 other express roads (M15, M85, M86, M30, M4, M70, M8).

We will also inform road users about these works well in advance via ÚTINFORM and on our new, more transparent and searchable website, which can be accessed via this link: Renovation – MKIF Hungarian Concession Infrastructure Development Ltd.

Although the levelling up work will be completed by 31 August this year, further maintenance and pavement replacement of the tracks will continue. This year’s works are designed to improve the comfort and safety of road users. Our company works every day to carry out renovations with the least possible inconvenience and in the most efficient way. 

We ask for the patience and understanding of road users! We work for you!
