The STRABAG project could renovate kilometres of Marcali’s main north-south road

One of Marcali’s most important, longest and most densely populated transport routes is Noszlopy Gáspár Street, which runs northwards from the town centre towards the Kisgomba district. For a long time, this street formed the section of Main Road 68 that ran through the town. The street’s route was established at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when the single-storey tenement blocks belonging to the Esterházy estate were purchased and demolished.

As part of the project launched by the Marcali Micro-region Multipurpose Association, a section of Noszlopy Gáspár Street approximately 1,030 metres long is to be upgraded by STRABAG will be able to renovate a section of Noszlopy Gáspár Street approximately 1,030 metres long, running northwards from the junction with Rózsa Street to the cycle crossing at the entrance to the OMV petrol station. The works, valued at approximately 76 million forints, will affect only properties owned by the town.
