With the completion of the first section of almost 6 kilometers that connects Zalaegerszeg with the M7 motorway, the government’s goal of having access to the motorway network from all settlements in 30 minutes will be achieved, said the Secretary of State for Innovation and Technology ( ITM) of the EU. on Thursday in Balatonszentgyörgy.
At the inauguration of the two-lane motorway between the M7 and Balatonszentgyörgy, Szabolcs Ágostházy spoke about the fact that when the 3.2 billion HUF road program was launched in 2016, half of the Hungarian settlements and almost three quarters of the residents had access to the highway in half an hour.
The creation of faster and more convenient access between large rural cities and priority economic areas may be followed by the construction of elements of national ring roads. One of them is the future M9, which will lead from Sopron via Szombathely, Zalaegerszeg, Keszthely, Kaposvár, Pécs, Mohács, Szeged, Békéscsaba and Debrecen to Nyíregyháza.

The new section, which will start at the Dutch junction of the M7, will be able to travel at a speed of 110 kilometers.
Another one-kilometer stretch from the now-delivered crossing to Fenékpuszta is expected to be completed in a year and a half, and the connection of the main two-lane Keszthely highway may begin within a year.

An 11-kilometer motorway will be built between Fenékpuszta and Sármellék with a rest area and separate connections in the direction of Sármellék and Keszthely airport, but a parallel cycle path will also be built.
