Minister Dávid Vitézy reduces scope of Keszthely road project
What happened
Dávid Vitézy, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, announced that the Keszthely road project will be built as a dual single-lane road, rather than the originally planned dual two-lane road. He cited the Mohács road developments as an example of reducing technical scope when a development cannot be stopped. The new plan involves a 7-kilometre road connecting the M76 motorway to the 75 main road.

Why it matters
The scaled-back plan was criticized by Bálint Nagy, who argued that rural areas deserve greater development. The Fidesz parliamentary group stated that reducing investment in rural areas hinders the country's overall progress and transport economy.
A Danube bridge investment project was launched in Mohács, with officials defending its continuation.
