Attention: New Hungarian motorway to be closed for 6 months due to its catastrophic state – VIDEO

The M30 motorway was opened two years ago. By now, cracks on it have become so bad that the operator has closed it for several months. The section was built by the Austrian Strabag, which has already been ordered by the Hungarian state to carry out the repairs.

New motorway

It was only 2.5 years ago, in October 2021, that the section of the M30 was opened to traffic. The motorway has now been closed with immediate effect, and the road construction company (Strabag) has been called upon by the operator, the Hungarian Concession Infrastructure Development Plc. (MKIF) to start the warranty repairs as soon as possible, Világgazdaság writes.

According to the latest information from Útinform, the restriction between the 33 Miskolc-North junction and the 40 Szikszó junction

will be in force from 17 February to 17 August in both directions.

This means that for at least half a year motorists will not be able to drive on this stretch.

A video was also published on Világgazdaság, taken just before the road was completely closed. You can see how the road surface between the two lanes has slid away from each other in several places, making it very dangerous to drive on:

The news was confirmed to Világgazdaság by László Szimicsku, communications director of MKIF. He added that as operators they had maintained traffic as long as possible, but the displacement had become so great that they had no choice but to close the road completely.
