Austrian contractor 945 Strabag is to head a consortium carrying out work on an expressway widening project in Hungary worth some €212 million. The project is for the widening and improving of the R 67 expressway that runs from Kaposfüred to Látrány. The consortium’s portion of the work will see a 10.1km section of the existing route being widened and improved while a new 10.3km section will also be built. Strabag holds a 53.2% share of the consortium. The firm working on the remaining 12.6km of the 33km route connecting Kaposfüred and Látrány has yet to be announced.

Drivers using the new R 67 expressway link will benefit from an unusual feature once the work is complete. Those driving at a certain speed will be able to hear the melody to the song Route 67 by Hungarian rock band Republic. This will be achieved due to grooves cut into the road surface generating harmonic frequencies in the tyres of vehicles using the link.
