Last year, Magyar Közút was allocated additional funding of 2 billion forints (EUR 6.5m) for cycle path upkeep, and it is getting a further 1 billion this year, said Máriusz Révész.

The government has also allocated 3.6 billion forints for cycle path construction, clearing the way for projects that already have permits, he said.

The funding will support the construction of eleven stretches with a total length of almost 68km, he added.
