As part of the road program, the government will expand the road network from about 3,200 billion HUF by 2024, predominantly from domestic sources – the parliamentary Minister of State of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (ITM) told at a press conference in Budapest.

Schanda Tamás added that in the period between 2016 and 2024, the high-quality domestic road network will be extended by about 1,000 kilometers of new sections.
