Sleeping SpotCrossborder Section Slovenia / Hungary

The cross-border section between Slovenia and Hungary lies between Hodoš and Boba. The section from Pragersko to Hodoš and further to the Hungarian border is not yet electrified.
The electrification and reconstruction of the entire section of 109 km is scheduled for completion by 2015.
Due to a lack of cooperation between the Slovenian and Hungarian authorities, the cross border section between Hodos and Boba isn´t finalized until today.
Cross border sections involve a high financial burden while usually having a lower political priority than domestic projects. They also require the cooperation of two countries with often diverging priorities, and there are no predefined structures for cooperation available. Although the transport ministers of both countries signed a memorandum of understanding in 2010 the European Coordinator Laurens Jan Brinkhorst still stated that there´s no structured cooperation between those two countries.
Regarding Hungary, PP6 modernisation works on Hungarian territory are supposed to be completed by 2013. However, the Hungarian authorities consider that the present route of PP6 from the Slovenian border is not the most appropriate.
On the western side of the Hungarian part of PP6, the upgrade of the section between Hodoš and Boba is now finished. Also in this part of PP6, the Boba-Győr-Budapest line is an alternative to the official alignment Boba-Székesféhervár-Budapest. The official alignment runs through hills and needs expensive upgrading work to arrive at a speed of 160 km/h.
