Traffic can now use the renovated connecting road in Szigetköz

A total of 331 million forints was spent on these investments, and more than 4.1 kilometres of road were renovated.

The minister also explained that the Hungarian Village Programme for 2025 placed emphasis on improving transport safety and quality, with 786 local authorities nationwide receiving funding totalling HUF 10 billion for the renovation of roads and pavements and the construction of pedestrian crossings.

The same amount was allocated for the renovation of secondary roads connecting small settlements, and HUF 10 billion in government support was also provided for property development and equipment purchases in 936 small settlements.
