    EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESS RELEASE Brussels, 2 December 2013 EUR 189 million of regional funds for two priority transport projects connecting Slovakia with the rest of Europe The European Commission has approved today €189 million in total from the Cohesion Fund for two transport projects which will vastly improve Slovakia's connections with the rest of Europe and boost its economic development. Both projects are part of the Trans- European Transport Network (TEN-T). The first project "D1 Jánovce - Jablonov" firmly establishes the D1 motorway as the key Slovakia's transport corridor connecting the western part of the country to the east leading to the Ukrainian border. The project concerns construction of two road sections of 18.54 km on the D1 motorway (Bratislava – Žilina – Košice – Slovak/Ukrainian border) as well as the construction of 22 bridges and 5 noise barriers. This investment comes under the priority axes 2 "Road Infrastructure (TEN-T)" under the operational programme for transport in Slovakia. It ensures the connection from West- Slovakia to the East (Ukrainian border). The European Union, through the Cohesion Fund, will finance the project with €146.3 million out of a total investment of €172.1 million. The implementation is expected to create 500 jobs during construction. The second TEN-T project which has recently been completed, concerns a road section of 14.18 km on the R4 Košice-Milhosť and is part of the important TEN-T North-South corridor, connecting Slovakia with Hungary and Romania. It includes also the construction of two interchanges and 14 bridges and will receive funding under the priority axis 2 "Road Infrastructure – Expressways and First Class Roads" of €42.7 million out of a total investment of €50.3 million.
