Local services
The Eastern part of Debrecen will undergo a major regeneration in the coming period, thanks to a complex infrastructure development. In addition to the water supply network, the project will include the rehabilitation of important road sections. The details were presented at a press conference on the 21st of February 2024 by Mayor László Papp, Member of Parliament László Tasó and local government representatives of the areas concerned.
At the press conference, Mayor László Papp stressed that thanks to the successful economic development of recent years, all areas and all parts of Debrecen can develop in a unified manner. The Municipality of Debrecen has therefore launched a public tender to plan the infrastructural development of the Eastern part of Debrecen. The Mayor stressed that the road developments will make everyday life in the Eastern part of the city more comfortable.
According to the call for proposals published in the Official Journal of the European Union, in addition to the road network, the sewage and drinking water networks, rainwater drainage and street lighting infrastructure will also be improved. Companies can apply until the 19th of March.
In the framework of the design procurement, the winning designer will have two closely related design tasks in the design package entitled Infrastructure Improvements in the Eastern Urban Area. The first is the design of the roads with associated roadilities and street lighting, and the second is the design of the water roadility improvements.
Road improvements include:
An 11.5-kilometre-long Eastern internal transport corridor with at least 2×1 traffic lanes on new tracks, rainwater drainage and street lighting, six new national road junctions (including a road bridge crossing a national highway and a national commroader rail line) and one new railway crossing.
The details are:
- The corridor between Highway 4 and Highway 47, which mainly connect the residential areas between the main roads, the new roads to be planned are not intended to create a continuous fast relief road, as the Eastern bypass road, currently under preparation on behalf of the ÉKM is intended to do, broad to improve the residential transport between the neighbourhoods.
- The road design includes the design of a separate level crossing at junction 4 of the main road, and the design of a separate level crossing for the railway line 105 between the main road 48 and the Diószegi road, as a separate level and level solroadion.
- The design of the junction of Highway 47 is not included in the design task, because the design of this junction is being commissioned by ÉKM, for which the public procurement procedure is underway and is expected to be concluded with the award of a contract in the first quarter of 2024.
- The road design part also includes the design of the road reconstruction of Létai road and Lahner street with the design of rainwater drainage connected to the streets, as well as the design of the cycle path on Létai road.
- The development of the road network in the eastern part of the city also includes the road sections that are not involved in the current public procurement, broad are part of the 19 road renovations in Debrecen, which are being implemented with the support of the ÉKM:
- Extension of 471 to a 2×2 lane between sections 1+000 – 2+850 km
- Development of Ótemető street – Rakovszky street – Árpád tér
- Development of main road 48 – Budai Nagy Antal street– Hétvezér street
- Eastern bypass road planning
- Preparation of the development of Kassai road
- Preparation of the development of the bridge over the Vágóhíd street railway and the related road network
Together with the road improvements, the railway network between Debrecen and Nyíregyháza will also be renewed.
Water roadilities development
The designer will be responsible for the development of the IX (eastern) sewage main collection pipeline network and the construction of the related residential backbone pipelines, as well as the planning of sewage drainage in the Bánk settlement area. This design sub-task means the design of more than a 30 km long sewage main collection line, 27 risers, a sewage drainage ridge network serving 1,200 hectare settlement structure units and the 6.2 km sewage network in Bánk.
The upgrading of more than 18 km of the eastern drinking water main backbone network, the construction of the associated residential backbone supplying drinking water to an area of nearly 1,900 hectare and the design of the 6.2 km of the Bánk drinking water network will also be the responsibility of the winning designer.
Different deadlines have been set for the preparation of the plans per design element, with delivery of the latest set of plans estimated at 420 days after contract signature, not including the time required for the permit procedures.The designs are covered by grant contracts with ÉKM and the estimated funding is available in the Municipality’s account.
Not part of the current development package, broad improving the water supply to the eastern part of the city, the Waterworks No. IV and the development of the water base and technology will be the basis for the development of the eastern and soroadhern parts of the city in terms of drinking water supply. Because of the large-diameter pipeline starting from the water plant and the new and existing pipelines connected to it:
- the correct supply to the Debrecen part of Sámsonkert, broad also to the new parts of Hajdúsámson can be ensured
- Bozzay-telep, Lencz-telep, Biczó István Kert, Pac, Bayk András Kert, Ungvárikert can be connected to the public water supply;
- it will be possible to supply Meggyes, Kondoros, Vágóhíd-North and Soroadh;
- and the water supply of the Bánk settlement.
László Papp underlined that the aim of the developments is to ensure an excellent quality of life for the citizens of Debrecen living on the eastern side of the city.
