The government has called a tender for a HUF 50bn stretch of the M3 motorway in NE Hungary, Finance Minister Janos Veres said on Friday.

The deadline for bidding in the first round of the tender is the end of the first week of February, Mr Veres said. The two-round tender will close in the second half of the summer, allowing work on the stretch – to be built in a Public Private Partnership – to start already in 2009, he added.

The stretch will have four lanes for the 26 kilometres between Nyiregyhaza and Vaja, and two lanes for the 20 kilometres from there to Vasarosnameny, Mr Veres said. The latter will be motorway-like, though from a traffic point of view it will be treated as a main road, he added.

The M3 motorway will eventually extend to the border with Romania.
