The construction of the M6 motorway may have been the worst investment in Hungary’s modern history, with a staggeringly unused road costing HUF 60 billion a year for 30 years. The governments of MSZP-SZDSZ were vaccinated enough by Fidesz for this reason. Now, however, the government is beginning to extend the unused highway to the south, much more meaningless than in previous sections, the G7 wrote.
Based on the offers received so far, the 20-kilometer stretch will have at least HUF 3 billion in other preparatory activities, with a minimum construction cost of HUF 90 billion. Thus, a total of one kilometer of road will cost 4.7 billion guilders, which is not so high among the projects of recent years, even the construction companies connected to the NER have not worked so dearly lately. According to a short summary on the Nemzeti Infrastruktúra Fejlesztő Zrt. the price went up so much.
By the way, the project has become more expensive over the years. For preparation, NIF Zrt entered into an EU support contract in 2017, with a budget of 4.7 billion HUF, which has meanwhile increased to 6 billion HUF. In 2016, construction was promised in one year, starting at HUF 48.7 billion. In 2019, the Hungarian nation near Fidesz wrote that the section will be built from 72 billion and construction will start in 2020. As construction will take three years, the new phase will not open before 2024.
And why doesn’t it make sense to build a road here? Because there is very little traffic. Highway 56, which currently connects the M6 end of Mohács with the Croatian border, is almost imperceptibly low. Even many first and second order highways handle orders of magnitude more traffic. Also, the 20 kilometer section will not really reduce travel time to Croatia, at best it could be a few minutes, not for the Hungarian section, but for the Croatian section, which has traffic on a new bridge in Osijek with a few kilometers. shortening the road.
