A major extension of Slovakia’s motorway network is underway, although spending in 2015 will be lower than in 2014. The 7808 Slovakian National Motorway Company is using a combination of both EU and state funds to invest in motorway construction during 2015. Some €518.5 million will be invested, although this is around 16% lower than the budget agreed for 2014. The EU Operational Programme Integrated Infrastructure (OPII) source will provide €80.6 million, while €14.22 million will come from the state budget.
