Preparations are underway for the renovation of 23 roads within the town of Sopron

A conditional public procurement procedure has been launched for the modernisation of the Magyar Közút Nonprofit Zrt. urban road network. The aim of the project is to improve the technical condition of the road network within the town of Sopron and to enhance road safety. The construction work must be carried out whilst maintaining continuous traffic flow; therefore, the complete closure of the affected road sections is not permitted during the construction period. During the renovation, the existing surface will be renewed in one or two layers; where necessary, surface subsidence will be repaired and kerb connections will be corrected.

Several key streets in the city centre are affected

According to the tender notice, Phase I of the renovation of the town’s collector roads, the expansion of the traffic-calmed zone in the Kisvár district and the modernisation of a section of Balfi Road can now begin, provided the necessary funding is secured. The notice specifies that, in the first phase, the surfaces of three sections of Somfalvi Street, Újteleki Street, Hunyadi Street, Csatkai Street, Kismartoni Row, Erzsébet Street, Kodály Square, Kistómalom Street, Sport Street and Zrínyi Street. As part of the works, damaged kerbs will be repaired, and manhole and drain covers will be levelled in several locations.

The manhole covers are also being levelled

The main components of the project include the laying of approximately 3,496 cubic metres of asphalt, the construction of more than 7,700 metres of kerbs, and the installation of 366 manhole and drain covers. Once the construction work is complete, new road markings will be painted along the entire section.

Nearly 8 kilometres of road could be resurfaced

The optional part of the public procurement contract also includes the renovation of a further five streets – including Ipar körút, Sörházdombi út, Szent Lélek utca, Hubertusz utca and Csőszházdűlő – covering a length of more than 1,500 metres.

During construction, in accordance with regulations governing the transport of asphalt, the distance between the production site and the laying site must not exceed 80 kilometres.
