EUR 125.5 million from Cohesion Policy funds will be provided for the upgrade and electrification works on the railway line between Esztergom (a town in northern Hungary) and Budapest. The project also covers the costs of upgraded signalling systems to improve the traffic safety.
It includes upgrading works in many of the line’s stations, for greater user comfort and smoother connections with regional bus systems, via an improved information system for passengers.
“This EU co-financed project will contribute to reducing car congestion, to making the air purer and to offering commuters a clean, fast and comfortable transport system,” Regional Policy Commissioner Corina Creţu said.
