STRABAG awarded €125m road construction contract in Hungary

The European construction group STRABAG SE has been awarded a road construction contract in Hungary with a volume of approx. € 125 million. On behalf of state company NIF Zrt., STRABAG will build the first section of R76 expressway in western Hungary from Zalaegerszeg to the M7 motorway including the Hollád interchange.

The 8.6 km section comprises several overpasses, including a reinforced concrete bridge over the river Zala as well as two railway bridges. The construction works are expected to last four years.

“An especially challenging aspect of this project are the marshes and moors along the planned route consisting of soft silt and clay. This makes proper ground treatment and conditioning especially important,” explains Thomas Birtel, CEO of STRABAG SE.

STRABAG SE is a European-based technology group for construction services, a leader in innovation and financial strength. Their services span all areas of the construction industry and cover the entire construction value chain. They create added value for clients by using specialised entities integrating the most diverse services and assuming responsibility for them to bring together people, materials and machinery at the right place and at the right time in order to realise even complex construction projects – on schedule, of the highest quality and at the best price. The hard work and dedication of close to 72,000 employees allow STRABAG to generate an annual output volume of about €14 billion. At the same time, a dense network of numerous subsidiaries in many European countries and on other continents is helping to expand our area of operation far beyond the borders of Austria and Germany.
