Green Circle – They could completely transform transport in Miskolc city centre

A public procurement procedure has been launched for the design of the project, which would fundamentally transform Miskolc’s traffic system. The scale of the development is illustrated by the fact that the total area affected by the project is estimated at 29,135 square metres. The traffic engineering works would affect 4,215 linear metres of road and 12,645 square metres, whilst the road resurfacing and junction expansion works – including the bus bays – could cover 16,490 square metres.

This is how the route would be laid out

The route of the planned ring road is as follows: Northern Relief Road – Thököly Street – Kiss Ernő Road – Petőfi Street/ Meggyesalja Street – Dayka Gábor Street – Meggyesalja Street – Kálvin János Street – Uitz Béla Street – Corvin Street – Szentpáli Street. The aim is to improve traffic conditions and make it quicker for motor vehicles to pass through the area.
 

Both cycling and public transport would see significant improvements

According to the tender, preparations are also being made for the development of cycle paths. The refurbishment of existing junctions and traffic light systems along the Northern Relief Road is also part of the project, which aims to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and reduce congestion. The section of road between Dózsa György and Dayka Gábor streets may be resurfaced across its entire width; furthermore, bus bays may be refurbished, and modern, comfortable shelters may be installed at bus stops.

They would apply the principle of water retention

The designer’s tasks will include, amongst other things, surveying the relevant water, sewerage and stormwater networks; planning and obtaining planning permission for the necessary utility relocations and protective measures; and developing urban stormwater drainage solutions that apply the principle of on-site water retention.
It is estimated that the project will involve the reconstruction of 600 metres of water mains, 600 metres of sewerage mains, and the design of 770 metres of electrical networks and 500 metres of telecommunications networks.
