It’s time for a refurbishment: HEDO is carrying out work on one of Miskolc’s key transport routes

A section of the No. 26 Miskolc–Bánréve secondary main road passing through the built-up area of Miskolc is to be resurfaced over a distance of nearly four kilometres. The resurfacing of the road, which is over thirty years old, is being carried out by HE-DO is carrying out the work on behalf of MÁV FKG, using domestic funding. The project is scheduled for completion on 18 January 2027. – reports the contractor.

This route is particularly important for those travelling to Miskolc from the north, as many of the city’s key institutions and the city centre can be reached via this section.

It handles a significant volume of traffic, and a number of facilities can be accessed via this route

The project covers a section of approximately 3.9 kilometres, stretching from the Szeles út junction in Miskolc to the city boundary of Miskolc, in the direction of Kazincbarcika. This dual two-lane section of road plays an important role in the city’s transport network. It not only serves traffic travelling to and from the conurbation, but also connects several major institutions and commercial facilities – including the Bosch manufacturing plant, the Repülőtéri út bus station, the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén Vármegyei Kórház, Miskolc Pláza and the city centre – are also key.

The contractor took over the worksite on 13 April 2026. As part of the project, approximately 9,200 tonnes of asphalt will be laid, primarily to replace the wearing course. In addition, 14 bus bays will be completely rebuilt and fitted with new CP4 concrete surfacing. The works include the reconstruction of approximately 1,700 running metres of kerbs, as well as the cleaning and raising to the required level of 190 drainage inlets and collection chambers. As for traffic management elements, 110 traffic signs will be replaced, and a new traffic counting device will also be installed.

Work is currently underway on the section stretching from the end of the Szeles Street junction to Huba Street

As the works were carried out whilst maintaining traffic flow, the project was divided into three phases. The first phase covered the section between Huba Street and the northern entrance to the hospital, as well as the section between Bosch and the end point.

During the second phase, the section between the hospital’s northern entrance and Bosch was completed, and at the same time, the resurfacing of the Szeles Street junction was also finished. Work is currently underway on the third phase, which involves the refurbishment of the section running from the end of the Szeles Street junction to Huba Street.
