HE-DO modernises an important commuter route in a metropolitan agglomeration

Csapás Street in Szada, near Gödöllő, is being renovated: experts are reinforcing the old route with new substructures and two layers of asphalt. Kerbs are also being built along the entire length, and junctions and road connections are also being regulated and rebuilt. The contractor, HE-DO, is also responsible for part of the hydraulic engineering work, according to information published on the Hungarian company's website.

Before the reconstruction started, traffic was on an aging narrow asphalt road and a repaired dirt road next to it. The affected section of road is a collector road, with locals and residents trying to avoid the morning and afternoon traffic jams.

Work started in early May, after the temporary traffic engineering was put in place.

They work with technology that ensures fast construction

"After the pavement has been removed, we started reinforcing the substructure, and we are also placing the waterworks under the roadway and the culverts so that the bonding layer can be built. The project will typically involve the construction of a monolithic kerb, followed by the wearing course and the finishing works," said Gellért Tímár, HE-DO's chief architect.

He added:

The use of monolithic edging is not common, this technology was chosen to speed up the construction.

The client of the project is the Municipality of Szada, which is financing the project from its own resources, which will be completed this summer.
