As part of the Debrecen2030 programme, the entire length of the Kádár dűlő, which connects the Ondód district with Debrecen, will be renewed. The 1.5-kilometre-long section, which is now being renovated, will complete the multi-phase road renovation, thus renewing the entire 4.4-kilometre access road.
The project aims to make transport safer and more comfortable for people living outside the city. The work will involve the removal of worn asphalt, laying a new wearing course, replacing the local binder course, and resurfacing the pavement for a gross amount of HUF 158 million from the municipality’s budget.
“In recent years, we have renovated the road leading here in five stages, 2.9 kilometres long, and now the renovation of the one-and-a-half-kilometre final section is coming up. Thus, the entire access road to the Ondód district will be renovated. This was a promise to the people living here, and now we are fulfilling this promise,” Mayor of Debrecen László Papp said. He added, “In 2025, we will also experience the year of large-scale transport developments. The city is currently undergoing the reconstruction of two large junctions: Szoboszlói Road – Erzsébet Street – Külsővásártér, and the capacity-increasing investment of the Balmazújvárosi Road – Füredi Road – Csigekert Street – Szabó Lőrinc Street junction; the connection of the northern bypass of Main Road 354 and Domokos Márton Road has begun, and in the second half of May, the reconstruction of the intersection of Vámospércsi – Hétvezér – Budai Nagy Antal Street will also begin, and we are also planning to build new roads.”
The investment is significant for Ondód, as this is the only road connecting the district to Debrecen. Regarding the development, Municipal Representative of the district Erzsébet Katona highlighted, “This road has been of central importance to the people of Ondód for years. After the community centre renovation, this was their other most important request. We worked in several stages, always taking into account the available resources. We did not stop even during the epidemic period. We have now achieved our goal: the last 1,500-meter section will be completed.”
Depending on weather conditions, the construction is expected to be completed by mid-June. The city government aims to serve Debrecen’s growing traffic safely and sustainably in the long term.
