# CohesionPolicy ги надградува патните мрежи и системите за отпадни води во # Хунгарија

The Cohesion Fund is investing €218.5 million in two projects in Hungary. €203.5m will finance the construction of a section of the M8 expressway in the country, which will contribute to better connecting Hungary and Graz, in Austria. €15m will help improve the wastewater collection systems in Budapest and the city of Budaors.

Regional Policy Commissioner Corina Creţu said: “These two Cohesion Policy projects clearly show the added value of the EU in Hungary. With major investments in road and water infrastructure, the EU is actively working to boost regional development and growth in the country, while improving the citizens' everyday lives."

The M8 expressway project will better link the Hungarian Vas region with the Austrian state of Burgenland. It will contribute to completing the core Trans-European Transport Network. The road should be completed in 2021. Then, some 33,000 people will benefit from an improved wastewater system in Budapest and Budaors, with 1,410 homes newly connected to the network. This project, in which the EU already invested €61m in the previous EU budget period, should be operational in June 2020. For the period 2014-2020, the EU is investing €25 billion worth of European Structural and Investment Funds in the country, i.e. an average of €2,532 per Hungarian over the 7-year period.
