Temporary roadworks are being carried out on the M1 motorway near Nagyegyháza

The expansion of the M1 motorway in the Nagyegyháza area has reached a new stage. On the construction site, embankment construction and preparatory works have now reached a stage of completion that allows for the laying of new, temporary asphalt layers, according to a post on the Magyar Koncessziós Infrastruktúra Fejlesztő Zrt. (MKIF) social media page.

The temporary road layout allows for two-lane traffic

One of the main aims of the traffic diversion is to ensure that traffic can continue to travel in two lanes on the side of the track heading towards Budapest whilst the section leading to Hegyeshalom is being widened. To this end, a temporary track structure will be built on the embankments, onto which part of the traffic will be diverted from autumn 2026.
Work will then begin on dismantling the existing track structure on the side leading towards Győr/Hegyeshalom to a depth of 100–120 centimetres, after which work will continue with a complete reconstruction.

Operational tasks are carried out during night shifts

A key objective during the works is to minimise disruption to traffic on the main carriageway of the M1 motorway. To this end, wherever possible, a significant proportion of the work will be carried out from the worksite and service roads. Operational tasks on the section of the motorway undergoing expansion will be scheduled for night-time hours.

Digital signs assist drivers

On the section of the M1 motorway currently undergoing expansion, two points have been set up where drivers can change lanes or merge between the diverted and undiverted lanes. Digital signs with variable messages that communicate with one another also help to manage traffic more safely.
