The construction of the access road between the westernmost part of Kecskemét and the M5 motorway is progressing well

The Kecskemét local government organised a tour of the construction site connecting the westernmost part of the county seat, Hetényegyháza, directly to the M5 motorway. We have previously written about this investment written about earlier, is being carried out by Colas Zrt. and, according to the latest information, is expected to be completed in November this year.

The development will involve road works over a length of around 2.2 km: partly the construction of a new section of road and partly the widening and reinforcement of the existing asphalt road from 4 metres to 6 metres.

A hub and a new cycle path are added to the area

A new junction will also be built at the junction of a previously existing, well-maintained municipal unpaved road and Helikon Street. In addition, a new 1.5 m wide footpath and cycle path will be paved for more than 500 m from the paved Helikon Street to the cemetery.

As reported by baon.hu reports on the event, cars arriving from the motorway will be able to continue their journey via Helikon Street and Tamási Áron Street. In connection with this, further road improvements will be carried out on both streets.

As reported, the project is expected to be completed in November 2023.

Kecskemét gets rid of clogs

The event was also attended by Mayor Klaudia Pataki and Balogh Zoltán, Head of the Development Policy Office of the City Council Office, as well as Sándor Tóth, CEO of Colas Út Zrt. and Szentgyörgyi Zsolt, Project Manager of Colas.

The mayor stressed on the spot:

After the project is completed, the people of Hetényegyháza will be able to reach the city centre more easily on a road network with a higher throughput capacity, and will not have to walk through traffic jams in the arboretum area. He also said that with this project, the overall development concept of the region is now clearly visible.
