Drivers travelling to and from Bratislava from the direction of Šamorín had to use a road diversion near the village of Dunajská Lužná (both in south-west Slovakia) for more than a year. This will change now as a new interchange was opened close to the future R7 carriageway on October 8.
It was built as part of the D4/R7 ring road project that will lead from Bratislava to southern Slovakia.
“It is part of the construction that is necessary for making the highway passable,” Transport Minister Árpád Érsek (Most-Híd) said, as quoted by the TASR newswire. Similar construction segments will be handed over gradually, he added.
