This is how the renewal of the roads between Eger and Szilvásvárad is progressing

In the first days of May, HE-DO's technicians started the rehabilitation of the roads between Eger and Szilvásvárad on behalf of Magyar Közút, by profiling the asphalt pavement, cutting the canopy in the gap and potholing the diversion road.

After forty years, the World Four-in-hand Driving Championships will be held again in Szilvasvárad from 4-8 September. The 22 km long road between Eger and Szilvasvárad will be renovated to improve access to the event.

The works will affect the main road 25 between sections 19+745-27+668 km and the Szarvaskő-Vadna link road 2506 between sections 0+000-13+635 km.

Deepening the road under the railway bridges

On the section of the main road 25 affected by the works, the railway line 87 crosses the main road at three separate levels. Since the beginning of June, HE-DO specialists have been working on deepening the roads under the railway bridges, which should be completed by the first days of next month. Once the work is completed, truck traffic will be possible.

Bus stops will also be renovated

In connection with the road renovation, the asphalt surface of the bus stops located on this section and the wearing course of all bridges will also be replaced. In the vicinity of the railway bridges, new culverts will be built on the sections where the track level is lowered, and a drainage system will be installed – the latter two tasks will be carried out with the assistance of KM Építő Kft..

Special asphalt mix used in the project

The roads will be resurfaced using asphalt mixes reinforced with synthetic fibre mixtures. This technology consists of mixing synthetic fibres with high tensile strength into the asphalt, which, among other things, reduces the risk of cracking.
