Important step towards the construction of the new bridge in Szolnok

Preparations for Szolnok's new bypass, which will reduce traffic congestion in Szandaszőlős, have been underway for years. Now, the public procurement for the preparation of the implementation plans has finally been announced. Based on the approval plans and building permits prepared in 2022-2023, the winner will be responsible for preparing the necessary implementation plans for the 0.5 km long inner-city section and 9.4 km long outer-city section of the new, continuous, 2×1 lane relief road.

A new bridge over the Tisza will also be built in connection with the bypass, which, according to information provided by Szolnok TV, will affect the floodplain of the Tisza, so the cross-sectional movement of wildlife must also be ensured. The bypass will connect to Vörösmező Street, and before that, it will be possible to turn off it towards Tiszaliget, and finally, it will connect to Martfűi Road via a multi-lane roundabout. The works are expected to be completed after 2027.
