The M6 and M8 motorways are undergoing significant road renovation works, in line with the investment plans of M6 Duna Autópálya Koncessziós Zrt. The works started in May 2023 and are expected to be completed by the end of October 2024. The project has been ongoing for more than a year and covers the section between M6 Érdi-tető and Dunaújváros, as well as certain parts of M8.
The construction is carried out by SWIETELSKY Magyarország Kft., which has already completed several significant sections. The renovations affect a total of 27 kilometers, including the complete replacement of pavement at several junctions and rest areas. So far, 230,000 m² of pavement has been renovated, and two junctions have been completely refurbished. The Adonyi and Dunaújváros-North junctions have already been fully renewed. The project's objectives include the renovation of the pavement at the Szentmihályi and Dunaújvárosi complex rest areas, as well as the renewal of pavement at six motorway junctions and ten underpasses. SWIETELSKY's tasks include large-surface pavement renovation, preparation of traffic diversion plans, and the complete execution of the project.
During the works, outstanding efficiency is achieved by the new asphalt mixing plant in Székesfehérvár, which produces at a capacity of 210 tons/hour, allowing significant energy savings. The new plant provides asphalt needs more economically than previous capacities and allows for the 40% recycling of asphalt milled during road renovations. The timeline is strictly adhered to, planning to complete the renovations by the end of October 2024, scheduled to minimize traffic disruption.
Temporary traffic diversions are planned by SWIETELSKY and executed with the approval of the road authority. The renovation works proceed according to the predetermined 13 diversion stages, considering the necessity of traffic diversions and technical conditions. The primary concern during construction is the safe and efficient execution of work under traffic conditions.
