At the ceremony, the minister noted the 27-kilometre section cost 125 billion forints (EUR 351m) to build.

Hungary’s motorway network now totals 1,900 kilometres, up from 1,300 kilometres in 2010, he added.

In the past three years alone, over 100 kilometres of motorways have been built, with most of the funding from domestic sources, the minister said.
