Bekescsaba to be Among Hungary's New Great Plain Transport Hubs
- 28 Oct 2024 6:34 AM
The government is working to establish transport hubs on the Hungarian Plain, and Bekescsaba, in the southeast of the country, will become one of them, Construction and Transportation Minister Janos Lazar said in the county seat.
After talks with city leaders, Lazar said the sides had agreed that the government should include Bekescsaba and Szolnok in the government's development plans for the cities of Szeged, Kecskemet and Debrecen.
They also discussed extending the M44 expressway to the border with Romania and expanding road no. 47 into a dual carriageway, he added.
In addition to cross-border connections between the Hungarian cities of Nyiregyhaza, Debrecen and Szeged, and their Romanian neighbours of Satu Mare, Oradea and Timisoara, now Bekescsaba and Arad, across the border, would become a transport hub, supporting Bekescsaba's role as a logistics and distribution centre, he said.
Bekescsaba Mayor Peter Szarvas said he was "optimistic" that the city's development, both in terms of economy and quality of local services, would continue to accelerate in the coming five years.
