The north-south axis of Zalaegerszeg can already continue

The first phase of converting Kosztolányi Dezső Street in Zalaegerszeg to two-way traffic was only days, and according to the recent announcement, the second phase can already begin, which will not only widen the road surface, but also create a new traffic light intersection and a new traffic lane on Hunyadi János Street. The contract, worth a total of approximately 1.5 billion net, was awarded to HYDROCOMP Mélyépítő Kft. and INTER-TEFU Kft.. Following the reconstruction, the traffic pattern on Zrínyi Miklós Street in the vicinity of the County Hospital will also be changed, which will alter access to the Baross Liget car park.

The project includes

• road, pavement and parking construction works,
• utility replacements,
• accessibility and
• planting/landscaping.

In addition, the storm drain network will be rebuilt and new drainage systems will be installed, with the MÁV tracks to be culverted under the track fill; but a 22 kV underground power cable will also be installed, which will also cross the railway line. The project will also include the reconstruction of the pedestrian underpass under the railway line at Bíró Márton Street and the provision of the missing bicycle link to Bajcsy Zsilinszky Square.

The development also includes

• relocation of a bus bay and construction of two new bus bays,
• the elimination of a bus stop on the river.
