Following on from 1984, Szilvásvárad will once again host the World Four-in-Hand Driving Championships between 4 and 8 September this year. In connection with this, the HE-DO has renovated a 22-kilometre stretch of road on behalf of Magyar Közút Nzrt. and subcontracted by KM Építő Kft. from Felnémet to Szilvásvárad:

• Highway 25 between sections 19+745-27+668 km,

This serves to reinforce the asphalt mix, increasing the service life, rigidity and fatigue life of the pavement.

As part of the renovation works, the specialists took care of the profiling of the existing pavement, the replacement of the entire track structure in the necessary places, on a total surface of 6800 square metres, and in the final phase, an asphalt wearing course and new floor were built over the entire surface.

The project also included the use of new technologies, according to the Magyar Közút press release.
