The city of Eger in the north will be linked to the M3 motorway by a four-lane highway by 2018 under an agreement signed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Eger Mayor László Habis. The agreement also includes a 6.3 billion forint (EUR 21.1m) project to upgrade Eger’s swimming complex and convert it into a swimming and water-polo centre, Orbán told a live televised press conference.
The renovation of Eger castle will be augmented by developments costing a further 6 billion forints, he added.
Further, state railway company MÁV will transfer 9 hectares of land to the city, which will be joined to an existing area to form a 20-hectare industrial park, Orbán told the news conference broadcast by public news channel M1.
