On December the 14th 2024, the final section of the M85 expressway was inaugurated, connecting the Sopron-North (Fertőrákos) junction with the national border. The most remarkable feature of this project is the 780-meter-long Bécsi-dombi twin tunnel, Hungary's first fully state-funded performance expressway tunnel.
The tunnel is equipped with the most advanced safety systems, including camera systems (34 cameras), fire alarms (84 fire and emergency call buttons), and ventilation fans (24 pieces) to ensure smooth and accident-free travel. During the construction, specialists worked tens of meters underground using mining methods.
Thanks to the M85 development, Sopron is not only directly integrated into the expressway network, but also the city is being completely bypassed. This reduces passing through traffic, making travel faster and safer.
