The M7 motorway is the oldest motorway in Hungary. The first separate section of it (because the section inside Budapest of it is common with the M1’s) was inaugurated in 1966,with half-profile. It was (and still is) important for the country, because this leads to the largest lake in Hungary, the Balaton. It was completed to the lake’s northernmost tip in 1970,half-profile all the way.
The M7 has currently the biggest motorway viaduct in Hungary,which is 1872m long.The motorway is about 242,3km long. The section Székesfehérvár-M0 has 2+3 lanes,3 going to Budapest.

Partially completed and under construction projects



M0 is the expressway ring around Budapest. It is still not completed, although its construction started in 1988. Currently the western section is missing. The southern section is being widened to 2x3+e,and a shortcut is being built to provide direct connection between the southern and eastern sections.

M43 is currently the shortest motorway in Hungary. It is 3 km long, and currently serves only as the bypass of Szeged. The continuation of it was brought sooner in this year, because freight traffic tripled on main road 43 from Romania and Bulgaria after they joined the EU. Construction works on it will start this year, all the way to the border. This short section was inaugurated in 2005,along with the M5 when it reached Szeged.

M60 will be a short motorway, connecting Pécs to M6. It will be finished by the march of 2010,because Pécs will be the Cultural Capitol of Europe in that year. It is being built,and will be 55km long.
It is possible the motorway wont end at Pécs but go further,to provide better bypass for the city.

M8 is also a very short expressway. It was built because there are not very much bridges on the Danube outside Budapest. So it only consists of a bridge, and a few kms of motorway. It was built with the first section of M6. M8 will form a large half-ring in the country that wont touch Budapest. Probable route is RáBafüzes-Veszprém-Dunaújváros-Szolnok.
It is currently 10,2 km long, while it will be 330,2km when it will be finished. The lone bridge was inaugurated in 2007.

The M9 is also a short expressway, built with the very same intention as M8, but farther from Budapest. It is 21km long now, and has no connection with the rest of the network. It will be 335 km long, with the approximate route of Sopron-Nagykanizsa-Szekszárd-Szeged. This short segment was inaugurated in 2003. The next segment will be built next year,between main road 51 and 54.

Nah, try France, there are many Autoroutes which are just as empty (20.000 vehicles per day or even less).
AFAIK motorways are needed at AADT > 16.000, so at 20.000 vehicles per day it's OK to build a motorway (Autoroute).

There could be various reasons to build a motorway, not only traffic counts.

M6 will be part of a major transportation corridor from the Baltic States to the Adriatic coast. It just takes time to fill such routes with traffic. I don't expect 50.000 vpd on M6 anytime soon, but it will get their share of traffic. Wait until we get more economic and infrastructural integration in central Europe and the GDP per capita reaches € 30.000

heh,

yea, sure, but in the meantime the lower section of M6 and M60 will get a sub-10k aadt so wouldn't you say we'd be better of if we spent the same amount of money on -say- M0, M2 and M10?

Sure, but those decisions have been made a long time ago and cannot be reversed now.
yes, well, i wish i had your optimism:
- we did not spend money on M6/60, we took out a multi-billion eur loan (!) in the form of PPP for 30 years, and anyone foolish enough to trust the hungarian government for 3 decades makes sure they get their money. lots of it... i bet the amount of interest they charge would show nice on any spreadsheet..
- the croatians will do their part, but i havent the same hope for bosnia: i dont think there will be a 2x2 link all the way to dubrovnik anytime soon and even then dubrovnik as a port is not that big a deal
- and finally, the slovaks are not even planning a motorway connection to M10 near Esztergom, and even if they were, they surely wouldnt rush developing the hungarian habited parts...

but ure right, its all down the drains now, except for the payment until 2040...

oh well

Who knows, now every new goverment planns new motorways but don`t built it. :D

Btw, I suppose they wouldn`t rush developing because of no traffic. Where is traffic, there is pressure to start the construction. For example this goverment wants to start 20/30 km of R7 from Bratislava to Dunajská Streda (just Hungarian town) and also 17 km from Zvolen to Kriváň (OK that`s no hungarian but mind direction) and also some streches of R2 near Ožďany. Do you see now? I am also not happy for this against Hungarian and against Slovak politics but there is also real reason why there are no motorways.

As a continuation of M10 new bridge between Esztergom and Štúrovo would be enough because the current one is closed for freight traffic. From Štúrovo there are major roads in three directions: I/63 to Komárno (Bratislava) II/509 to Nové Zámky (Nitra, Bratislava) and I/76 to Levice (Zvolen) which will easily handle little traffic from M10. In this case short bypasses at the roads rather than continuous expressway would be enough. Similar to Hungarian road 3 between Miskolc and Slovak border.

Right now we have big traffic problems, we cannot afford construction of expressways for no traffic. Well, unfortunately we are doing that, U/C R4 between Košice and Hungarian border being the best example, but this is rare case (politic gesture).

On the other hand, I don't know if it's due to the lack of communication between our governments or other reasons, but Slovakia is still preparing as a north-south connection of Poland, Slovakia and Hungary expressway R3 which is supposed to end near Šahy and continue to Hungary as M2. There are no official intentions to reroute E 77 to M10.

This is a bit offtopic, but I also wouldn't say development of region inhabited by Hungarians is lagging behind development of other areas. R4 is U/C, some section of R2 are being prepared and quite big PPP project - R7 Bratislava - Dunajská Streda was just announced. This road will connect districts Dunajská Streda (115,399 inhabitants, 83 % Hungarians) and Komárno (106,876 inhabitants, 69 % Hungarians) to Bratislava. Eventually it will connect to the capital also district Nové Zámky (147,203 inhabitants, 38 % Hungarians). This area is together with adjacent districts (Senec, Galanta, Šaľa, Nitra), which already have very good connection to the motorway network, a place, where majority (300,000) Hungarians live.

I think the actual priorities are the right way. new danube-bridge is needed much more near komarno, because motorway M1 is near there and our roads I/63 and 64 are able to handle the trucks. between esztergom-sturovo will be cargo-ferryboat I think sooner as komarno-komarom bridge. roads from sturovo are unusable and they need a lot of bypasses. the solution is the double tracked, electrified railway with perfect possibily of transit shed.


This is a bit offtopic, but I also wouldn't say development of region inhabited by Hungarians is lagging behind development of other areas.
it os hard to say....maybe yes, maybe not. the northern connection west-east existed in past only during turkish wars as safety device. northern route (railway) was used for connection silesia-east. it is maybe about industrializeing of north-east. this regions are the poorest in 1st czechoslovakia and in hungarian kingdom too. industry is then good reason for road construction. in fact, past regime builded a lot of good roads everywhere (bratislava-komarno-nove zamky is maybe the best road in Sk), but not enough and motorway construction was tragical all over expect around Bratislava.

about development lagging of southern regions we can talk during meciarism (94-98), I have read, about 80-90% money for roads was spent in north. fico-government was very silimar : low speed preparation of R2, dilettantish variant of R7 bratislava sally road.

Cool photos:eek:kay:, it's nice motorway. Of course if you ignore the little traffic and uselessness of the tunnels.

I think the actual priorities are the right way. new danube-bridge is needed much more near komarno, because motorway M1 is near there and our roads I/63 and 64 are able to handle the trucks. between esztergom-sturovo will be cargo-ferryboat I think sooner as komarno-komarom bridge. roads from sturovo are unusable and they need a lot of bypasses. the solution is the double tracked, electrified railway with perfect possibily of transit shed.
Both bridges are needed, but I agree, the one near Komárno is probably more important. Road between Štúrovo and Komárno is useless for tranzit. On the other hand road II/509 has very low traffic and is outside built-up area (only 1-2 bypasses are needed). Road I/76 would need much more bypasses, but there's plenty of time to build them since the bridge in between Štúrovo and Esztergom is not going to be built soon and even after its completion traffic wouldn't exactly sky-rocket.

As you've said, interesting solution of E77 problems could be also RoLa trains from Budapest to Katowice or Kraków.
