After plans were put on hold in the early 2000s, financing was approved for the project in 2004. By 2010, all tunnel work (undertaken by a joint venture of Austria-based Strabag and France-based Vinci Construction) had been completed. Government statistics had put total costs of the project at HUF 452.5 billion as of mid-2012.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
We would like to offer that same opportunity to our readers. We would like to invite you to help us deliver the quality business journalism you require. Hit our Support the BBJ button and you can choose the how much and how often you send us your contributions.
