One factor impeding the region’s development possibilities is the current inadequacy of the existing transport capacities across the local segment of the state border between Austria and Hungary, restricting growth and development in the areas along the border. The opening of the border crossing point between Rajka and Deutsch Jahrndorf will provide shorter access to the TEN-T network primarily for Neusiedl am See (a tertiary junction) and the nearby villages (of Németjárfalu, Lajtakáta, Lajtakörtvélyes and Mosonújfalu). The border crossing point to be constructed enables improved access to Rajka and the M15 TEN-T network element, resulting in a major improvement of the accessibility of the region as a whole. In addition to the project’s social and economic impacts, it may – through improved mobility and communication possibilities for residents of the municipalities along the border – also make a direct contribution to the strengthening of the micro region’s population retaining capability and to an expansion of commercial and economic processes. Development projects need to be implemented on both sides of the border to stop the process of the regions along the border becoming more and more marginalised. In the case of cross-border road development projects cooperation is indispensable from both technical and social perspectives. The opening of the new border crossing point will improve the border segments’ permeability for local residents and tourists alike. The construction of a road of a good technical state will enable quicker and safer transport between the two municipalities. The new approach taken by the project lays in the fact that we will achieve improvements in the conditions of the TEN-T network connections by actual physical implementation for the village of Neusiedl am See and other nearby municipalities.
