Today, the European Commission has approved an investment of €125 million from the Cohesion Fund for the construction of a section of the D1 motorway between Hubová and Ivachnová in Slovakia.
- 03 March 2024
The total length of the section will be 14.9 km. The project constitutes the second phase of the investment construction which first phase has been completed within 2007-2013 programming period. The entire investment is a part of the technical solution for the extension of the D1 Motorway from Hubová, where the Hubová interchange is designed, through the Čebrať tunnel, up to the D1 Ivachnová - Hybe section in operation. The project is located in central Slovakia in the Žilina region. The D1 Motorway will replace and supplement the current 1st class road I/18.
The project significantly contributes to the fulfilment of the vision of "modern, high-quality, safe and efficiently functioning transport infrastructure", especially in the corridors of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The vision has been defined in the Strategic Transport Infrastructure Development Plan of the Slovak Republic until 2030.
