M1 extension: embankment foundation and widening work starts

News has arrived once again from MKIF Magyar Koncesszió Infrastruktúra Fejlesztő Zrt. regarding the preparatory work for the expansion of the M1 motorway, which will start in September and which is regularly reported on report on a regular basis. During the approximately 80-kilometre extension, the road surface will be renewed from the M0 motorway to the Concó rest area in the Ács and Bábolna area, and the M1 will be expanded to 2×3 lanes + ITS lane (the latter abbreviation stands for intelligent hard shoulder).

Now MKIF is writing about it on Facebook: writes on Facebook:

Alongside the track, on the side leading to Budapest, embankment foundations and widening works are already underway in several places (between Óbarok - Tatabánya - Újváros).

A temporary track structure will be built on these embankments, so that during the widening of the Hegyeshalom side, traffic will be able to run on 2+2 lanes in both directions on the Budapest side.

A network of geodetic bases has been installed for the construction of the embankments, allowing the machines to work in the area with centimetre accuracy and under constant control," they summarise.
