TEM
Since 1977, Slovakia has been involved in the TEM
project (Trans-European North/South Motorway
Network Project), which ranks among the most
ancient regional infrastructural projects in the
existence of European transport. From the initial
length of 10 400 km in 1977, the length of the
TEM network has grown to the present 22 303 km.
The perspective TEM network in the territory of
the Slovak Republic includes 936 km of highways
and expressways, which are built at stages.

TEN (before TINA)

• Slovakia was actively represented in the
  Paneuropean conferences in Prague 1991, in Crete
  1994 and in Helsinki 1997, the result of which
  are the Paneuropean multimodale transport
  corridors IV, V/A and VI crossing the Slovak
  territory on routes of the defined highway
  network of the Slovak Republic with length of 659
  km. It consists of the following highway runs
• D1 Bratislava ilina - Preov Koice -
  state border SK/UA, (corridor V/A)
• D2 state border SK/CZ Bratislava - state
  border SK/H, (corridor IV)
• D3 ilina Cadca - state border SK/P,
  (corridor VI)
• D4 Bratislava state border SK/A, (corridor
  IV).
• The highway network of the Slovak Republic is
  connected to all neighbouring countries.

TEN

• Slovakia in the past years (before EU)
  actively participated in the process of
  definition of the TINA network (Transport
  Infrastructure Needs Assessment), i. e. the
  extension of the network of Crete/Helsinki
  corridors by other expresswas (R) corridors . In
  Slovakia the two north-south corridors are
  involved
• Central corridor R3 Martin Zvolen ahy
  state border SK/H and further in
  direction of Budapest,
• Eastern corridor R4 from the direction of
  Rzeszów state border SK/P Vyný Komárnik
  Preov Koice Milhost state border SK/H and
  further in the direction of Miskolc.
• The length of the defined TEN (TINA)
  network in the Slovak Republic is approximately
  933 kms.

c) The roads network

• cb) The urban/local roads network 4 to 33 m of
  width, depending on functional classification of
  the road, approximately 25 220 kms being in

COMPETENCES

• In state ownership are
• highways, expressways and 1st class roads,

• 2nd and 3rd class roads,
• in ownership of cities and communes are
• - urban/local roads.

ENSURANCE OF ACTIVITIES RESULTING FROM STATE
OWNERSHIP

• To ensure needs and the function of road
  economy (preparation, construction,
  administration of property, maintenance,
  diagnostics...) the Ministry of Transport... has
  established a legal entity Slovak Road
  Administration (SRA) for 1st class roads and
  according to new act was creationed from 1st of
  February 2005 National Motorway Company for
  highways and expressways.
• Important part of activities of SRA is the
  collection of data on road network for the Road
  data bank.

PRIORITY PROGRAMS IN ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT
22
PRIORITY PROGRAMS IN
ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
A permanent strategy of the Ministry of
Transport... in compliance with adopted strategic
documents in Slovakia is universal care of road
infrastructure and provision of high-quality
services to its users. As optimal solution of
acute capacity and security-related problems
encountered on the most loaded roads we consider
the construction of new highways and expressways,
particularly in the context of incorporation of
Slovak road infrastructure in European road
infrastructure at the required functional level.
Priorities of the transport sector are taken
into account in the development documents
approved by the Government. In 1999 the
Government approved a basic document
The Conception of Road Infrastructure
Development. Subsequently the Government had
approved The New Project of the Construction of
Highways and Expressways in 2001 and later its
next adds Actuallisation of the New Project of
the Construction of Highways and Expresswaysin
2003, Report about of the Programme Motorways
and Expressways construction (report) in
2004. In June 2006 will be the report to the
government submited again.
23
BASIC PRIORITIES in the context of primary
objectives of the national and international
transport policy are to 2013 follows

• Preference of the highways construction sections
  on TEN corridors (D1 - D4) particularly
• in the territory of the capital of the Slovak
  Republic Bratislava, all section D1and D2
  to 2006 (the latest to 2007) in constructions is
  last section D2 Lamacská road Staré Grunty with
  the two tubes tunnel Sitiny of length about 1,4
  km,
• on the north-south V/A corridor the sections D1
  and D3 between Bratislava ilina to 2006 (with
  present problems is real term to 2008)
• on the west-east V/A corridor the sections D1
  between ilina Koice to 2013 (with the
  prepared PPP project of section Lietavská Lúcka
  Turany of length 30 kms)
• on the north-south VI corridor the sections
  between ilina state border SK/P and SK/CZ to
  2012 (prioritly of part Cadca state border
  SK/P to 2010)

24

• Preference of the preparation and
  construction other sections on TEN corridors
  (expressways R3, R4, D4) and other economic
  effectiveness and environmental projects on the
  expressways corridors (R1, R2, R5, R6), for
  example
• sections R1 Rudno nad Hronom arnovica (four
  lanes), R2 Odany bypass, R2 Figa bypass, all
  give to the operation to 2006 (two lanes),
• Goals to give to the operation
• three sections on corridor R1 Nitra, west
  Selenec Beladice Tekovské Nemce to 2011,
• a one-two new section/s on D4 Bratislava- east
  bypass to 2013,
• a one-two section/s on corridor R3 Martin
  Turcianske Teplice iar nad Hronom (two lanes)
  to 2013,
• two-three sections on corridor R2 between Zvolen
  Koice and two-three sections on R2 between
  Trencín -  iarom nad Hronom (two lanes) to 2013,
• on corridor R4 sections Koice Milhost and
  Svidník bypass to 2008/2009 (two lanes) and
  Preov bypass to 2011,
• on corridor R7 section Dunajska Streda a Nové
  Zámky (two lanes) to 2012,
• new bridge across river Danube in túrovo or
  Komárno (two lanes) to 2013 (2015).

25
Within the international context we consider the
north-south highway perspective corridors across
Slovakia connected Baltic Sea and Adriatic Sea

26
International context

• as a priority No 1 west corridor along the axis
  Rijeka / Trieste Wienna-Bratislava/Szombathely
  - Mossonmagyarovár state border SK/H
  Bratislava ilina Cadca Skalité state
  border SK/P Zwardon Zywiec Bielsko-Biala
  Katowice Warszawa Gdansk, on the territory of
  Slovakia will be completely to 2012. On this
  axis on the territory of Slovakia are three (3)
  big manufacture-car factory (VW in Bratislava,
  Peugeot in Trnava, KIA at ilina) and near of
  this corridor in Czech Republic is planed 4th
  factory (Hyundai at Ostrava). The distance
  between Bratislava and Wienna is 60 kms only,
  between Bratislava and ilina/Budapest 200 kms,
  between Bratislava and Adriatic Sea 600 km and
  between Ostrava and ilina about 90 kms
• 2. as a priority No 2 middle perspective
  corridor along the axis Katowice/Krakow Martin
  iar nad Hronom ahy/túrovo Budapest, its
  the neariest international distance on the
  territory of Slovakia could be new expressway in
  operation to 2016,
• 3. as a priority No 3 east perspective
  corridor along the axis Helsinky Tallin Riga
  Kaunas Rzesów Preov Koice Miskolc
  Budapest/Beograd Athina on the territory of
  Slovakia could be new expressway in operation to
  2016.

These are the basic Slovak proposal for
international negotiations and strategic
planning.
27
CONCLUSION

• In the framework of road economy,
  construction of highways and expressways are
  during a long time preferred yet.
• The level of fulfilment of the above
  priorities depends on financial capacities
  determined by performance of economy and on the
  state financial and international policy
  including distribution EU resources inside
  Slovakia among priorities of Ministries. It
  shows, that Ministry of Transport will have
  during period 2007 - 2013 in disposal
  approximately 1,6 billion EUR, for motorway and
  expressway about 1,267 of billion EUR, for 1st
  class roads about 0,333 billion EUR.
• The state financial policy on the field of
  road infrastructure development in Slovakia
  depends now and in future time also on the
  priorities of the member and candidate states of
  EÚ and on the good contacts with.
