M4 Motorway (Hungary)
M4 is a Hungarian expressway (constructed to motorway standards on its final section before reaching the border) which will, upon completion, connect Budapest to Oradea and further Romanian cities. The route will travel in Hungary through Cegléd, Szolnok, Karcag, Püspökladány, Berettyóújfalu, and Nagykereki before reaching the Romanian border. History, finished sections and future plans The road's origins can be traced much further back in time - as far back as 1974, when the first section of the future motorway was opened. This section, from Albertirsa to Cegléd, served to bypass the older, congested Route 40, that passed through these towns. This was extended in 2005 to bypass Abony and Szolnok. The same year, the Törökszentmiklós bypass opened. On 6 July 2011, a bypass also opened at Kisújszállás. Most of these sections were only 1 lane per direction. The 10 km long Vecsés- Üllő bypass opened in 2004, completed up to expressway standards. The section also hel ...

M51 Motorway (Hungary)
The M51 motorway is a 2x2 road without hard shoulder between the 51 road and the M5 motorway. It was part of M0 motorway until 2013 when it was renamed. Many people still mistakenly call it M0. The bypass of road 51 around Dunaharaszti (a 2x1 road) is also included in M51. History The first section of the M0 motorway was constructed in 1988 as a bypass of main road 51 in Dunaharaszti. It was planned that the next section of the M0 would have continued through a tunnel under populated areas in Budapest's Eighteenth District, but due to its high cost, this plan was abandoned. As a result, due to the existence of Ferenc Liszt International Airport and populated areas, the eastern section of the M0 had to be placed much further south than originally planned. Because of this change in planning, it was no longer possible to connect the old section to the rest of M0 because of its location, so a new section, immediately adjacent to the existing M0, had to be built between main road 51 an ...

Sections M1-M7-M6-M5 section (South) The 29 kilometer long section between M1 and M5 is the oldest section of the M0 motorway and was built between 1988 and 1995.

Initially there were no jersey barriers between the two lanes in each direction, they had to be added some years after the road was completed because reckless drivers overtook in the opposite lane causing many fatal frontal crashes. Small bridges in this section were initially built twice as wide as necessary, because a widening of the road was already antici ...
