Iváncsa’s main road is being upgraded along its entire length – infrastructure development in the village is progressing

The development of the Iváncsa industrial estate began as early as the early 2020s. The profile of the 183-hectare site is fundamentally defined by electromobility in the automotive industry and the supporting supplier, logistics and energy sectors. The supply chain for the battery factory of the South Korean SK Innovation has a battery factory with an annual capacity of 30 GWh, and several international and domestic companies are already present in the park or are planning to establish a presence there as part of the supply chain for this facility. The development of road infrastructure is also necessary to meet this increased demand.

The aim of this new investment was therefore to improve access to the Industrial Park and ensure that traffic bypasses the village; and, in a separate phase running in parallel with this, to make everyday life easier for the residents of Iváncsa by modernising the village’s main road.

The latter section of the project, which concerns the town centre, is now being carried out by Soltút Kft.. The company’s specialists are contributing to the town’s development by carrying out repairs to the town’s internal road network and by expanding facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.

The village’s main road is being resurfaced

The contractor has just 14 months from the handover of the worksite to complete the tasks. In the space of just under a year, ending on 31 May 2027, it will be necessary to renovate approximately 6.5 km of state-managed roads and 3 km of local authority roads, construct 2.2 km of new cycle paths, resurface more than 6,500 m² of pavements and modernise 8 pairs of bus stops.

Road 6205, which runs through the centre of the town, is being repaired along its entire length within the town limits, whilst, among the local authority roads, Hunyadi Street, Fő Street, Bogár Street and Határ Street are affected by the renovation works.

They meet strict requirements

Following the installation of standard bus stops, the roads managed by Magyar Közút are undergoing single-layer resurfacing works, including the repair of kerbs and drainage ditches. At the same time, the cycle path is being constructed with a two-layer asphalt surface, whilst the pavements are being paved with paving stones.

„No factors are expected to hinder the project; the only area requiring greater attention is the disposal of excavated material, in order to comply with the provisions of the new Waste Act,” László Kiszli of Soltút told our newspaper.

Construction has begun

„Unfortunately, we have only been able to start work on the pavements, as for several tasks the changes that have occurred since the plans were drawn up need to be incorporated into the working drawings, approved, and the data from the e-utilities service needs to be reconciled with the actual connections,” said László Kiszli. He added:

We therefore have a few issues to resolve, but once the plans have been updated and the e-utility consultations have been completed, we will begin road construction without delay.
