Asphalt Works Continue at the Junction of Szoboszlói Road and Külsővásártér

The contractor carrying out the capacity expansion works at the junction of Szoboszlói Road and Külsővásártér junction commenced road surface renovation works on 26 February 2026. On 3 March 2026, the laying of the asphalt wearing course on Nyugati Street began, with further phases of work to follow.

Subject to weather conditions, the contractor plans to carry out the asphalt works as follows:
• On 4 March 2026 (Wednesday), laying of the asphalt base and binder courses on the city-centre side of Erzsébet Street;
• On 5–6 March 2026 (Thursday and Friday), raising and concreting of the existing manhole covers on the city-centre side of Erzsébet Street;
• On 9–10 March 2026 (Monday and Tuesday), laying of the asphalt wearing course on the city-centre side of Erzsébet Street.

Daytime asphalting works will be carried out with traffic controlled by banksmen, between the morning and afternoon peak periods.

In order to minimise disruption to traffic, junction asphalting works will take place at night (between 22:00 and 05:00) as follows:
• On 5–6 March 2026 (Thursday and Friday) at the Széchényi Street – Külsővásártér – Nyugati Street junction;
• On 11–13 March 2026 (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) at the Miklós Street – Külsővásártér – Erzsébet Street junction.

During the night works, between 22:00 on 5 March 2026 and 05:00 on 6 March 2026, Széchényi Street will be closed in its full width from the access road of the Lidl store to the main entrance of Debreceni SZC Mechwart András Technical School of Engineering and Information Technology. During this period, it will not be possible to turn into Széchényi Street from the direction of Külsővásártér or Nyugati Street. Diversions will be available via Szoboszlói Road or Kishegyesi Road. Traffic will be managed by banksmen.

Between 11 and 13 March 2026, during the night works, Miklós Street will be closed in its full width from Szív Street to Erzsébet Street. The diversion route will be provided via Antall József Street.

Due to the works, traffic congestion can be expected. All road users are therefore requested, where possible, to avoid the affected streets and junctions and to follow the temporary traffic signs in place rather than their usual routes.
