The construction of the catenary between Rákosrendező and Esztergom started on 30 June 2016 with using previously erected overhead line poles.
The project involved the construction of a new, second track between Angyalföld – Újpest and the installation of new interlocking equipment in the entire section. New D55 interlocking equipment was installed at Leányvár, Esztergom-Kertváros and Esztergom stations, and new electronic interlocking equipment at Angyalföld station.
In connection with the electrification of the line, a new traction substation was built in the non-residential area of Dorog, while Budapest Istvántelek substation was modernised and expanded.
The buildings of Esztergom and Dorog stations and Klotildliget railway stop were reconstructed. A catenary maintenance site was built at Óbuda station.
The line was equipped with centralised traffic control and modern passenger information system.
Length of newly built catenary: 90 km
Length of reconstructed railway track: 13 km
