AKA Ltd. kindly asks road users to exercise patience due to the traffic restrictions caused by the repairs.
During the road surface repair works – between 14th August and 7th September 2026 – on the M5 Motorway the traffic between chainage 74 and 84 km in the direction of Budapest will be temporarily diverted into to the overtaking lane, then to the driving lane, and onto the overtaking lane of the opposite side, thus ensuring two available lanes for travellers in each direction on the motorway. A shortened stretch is provided for traffic leaving and entering the motorway for travelers heading towards Budapest at the Kecskemét north bypass interchange at chainage 81.
During the entire period of the road surface repair works on the M5 Motorway in the direction of Budapest the Hetény rest area at chainage 77 will be closed.
