"AJTÓSI DÜRER street to be renovated with 1 billion forints"

1 BILLION HUF WILL BE USED TO RENOVATE SECTIONS OF DÜRER SOR AND ZICHY GÉZA STREET: AS PART OF THE DÜRER PARK PROJECT, GREEN AREAS, SAFE BIKE LANES, AND PEDESTRIAN PATHS WILL BE BUILT NEXT TO CITY PARK.

In the near future, approximately 300 meters of Ajtósi Dürer sor and approximately 100 meters of Zichy Géza utca will be renovated as part of the Dürer Park real estate development project, which is being implemented by Dürer Investment Ltd. as the investor in collaboration with Property Market as the real estate developer. The deteriorated road surfaces and infrastructure of the road network near City Park will be renovated at the investor's own expense, totaling more than 1 billion forints. As part of the Dürer Park project, green areas, safe bike lanes, and pedestrian paths will be built in the immediate vicinity of City Park.

During the design process led by FŐMTERV Engineering Design Ltd., special emphasis was placed on revitalizing the existing public space by eliminating the outdated concrete road surface. Instead, a green strip and safe bike lanes compliant with traffic regulations will be established.

Safe pedestrian crossings will also be established at the new signalized intersections towards City Park: near the entrance of Szent István High School and at the Stefánia Road intersection. Additionally, new dedicated left-turn lanes for vehicles will be constructed, also prioritizing safe transportation.

The approximately 1 billion HUF worth of public infrastructure will be implemented by Colas Alterra Construction Ltd. The works will involve Ajtósi Dürer sor between Cházár András út and Stefánia út, as well as Zichy Géza utca and Abonyi utca. The works on Ajtósi Dürer sor are expected to be completed by the autumn of 2023, before the occupancy of the first office building, while interventions affecting Zichy Géza and Abonyi utca will be completed by the spring of 2024, before the occupancy of the second office building.

During the infrastructure development works starting on March 22, 2023, coordinated with Budapest Roads Ltd., commuters should expect scheduled and periodic, partial lane closures and traffic diversions. Trolleybus services will continue uninterrupted. Naturally, the construction will lead to increased travel times, and both the investor and real estate developer kindly request commuters' patience to ensure the delivery of a high-quality, long-lasting infrastructure at the end of the works.

The renovation program encompasses the following developments among others:

Ajtósi Dürer sor

• Ajtósi Dürer sor will receive a completely new road surface spanning 300 meters in length. Additionally, new pavement will be constructed, and a central green strip will be established, aiming to increase green areas.
• The street lighting and trolleybus overhead line network will also be renovated, involving the installation and modernization of over 30 new poles.
• The traffic management system will also be renovated, with a focus on ensuring safe pedestrian and bicycle traffic. New signalized pedestrian crossings will be created, and bike lanes compliant with traffic regulations will be established.
• At the hazardous Ajtósi Dürer – Stefánia intersection, instead of the three-lane through traffic with staggered green light system, a dedicated left-turn lane will be constructed, prioritizing traffic safety.

The Zichy Géza utca and Abonyi utca

• The first 100 meters of Zichy Géza utca from Ajtósi Dürer sor will receive a new asphalt surface, and a two-way traffic system will be established. Additionally, the even side of Zichy Géza utca will get new pavement for the sidewalks.
• The even side of Abonyi utca will also receive new pavement, spanning approximately 220 meters in length, extending all the way to Szent István Gymnasium.
