Slovakia’s 14km stretch of the east-west motorway D1, from Bidovce to Budimir, will open in December, according to the government.
Last year, Slovakia’s motorway company NDS and the transport ministry agreed a subsidy of nearly €204 million for the D1 section. The EU is covering 85% of the project cost, while the remaining 15% is covered by the government for construction the Budimir-to-Bidovce stretch, near the city of Kosice.
The section, being built by Skanska for almost €237 million, is part of the eastern by-pass of Kosice and in Budimir it will connect to D1 from Presov.
