The stretch of railway that runs across the border, to Arad in Romania, will be renovated during the 2014-2020 European Union funding period, state secretary Zsolt Becsey said. The renovation was carried out by a consortium of Swietelsky Vasúttechnika, Kőzgép and Strabag Általános Építő. The line is situated along two trans-European transport corridors, and approximately 85% of the project costs were covered by European Union funding.
