Photos of temporary roads in preparation for the M1 dual carriageway upgrade

Our newspaper regularly reports on the historic development of the M1 motorway, which is currently in the preparatory phase, and the approximately 80-kilometre extension. During this process

The M1 will be resurfaced from the M0 motorway to the Concó rest area and widened to 2×3 lanes + ITS lane (the latter abbreviation stands for Intelligent Stopping Lane).

Preparatory work began last autumn and has been ongoing ever since, with actual construction set to begin in September this year. M1, which operates the M1 motorway and is also the main contractor for all this work, MKIF Magyar Koncessziós Infrastruktúra Fejlesztő Zrt., which manages the M1 motorway and is also the main contractor for all these works, regularly posts updates on its Facebook page about the preparatory tasks. Now they are writing about

In the course of the preparatory works for the six-lane upgrade, temporary dirt roads were constructed outside the track, the first so-called "service road", a 7-kilometre section between Szárliget and the Harkályos rest area, was completed.

They add that these roads will help to ensure that during construction and development, where and when possible, the MKIF can relieve construction traffic on the motorway section. They also play, and will continue to play, an equally important logistical role during construction.
