Dávid Vitézy: We will start the expansion of the airport expressway

The Tisza government has decided to renovate the airport expressway, starting with the approval of existing plans. Transportation Minister Dávid Vitézy noted that the previous government promised expansion for over a decade without results. The current road, with one lane in each direction, can cause complete road closures due to accidents, affecting airport bus services and commuters. The new plan includes a two-lane road, upgraded overpasses, and a separate level for road and rail at the end of Üllői Road. The project will require the expropriation of over 300 properties, with the government expected to announce the construction tender in late 2027, followed by preparatory work in 2028 and major construction starting in 2029. Vitézy emphasized the importance of this road for first impressions of Budapest and daily life for residents and commuters.
