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. The state budget finances worth €161.65 million will be used in 2015 for construction, repairs, and maintenance. This represents an increase of 14.6% from the planned spending for 2014. Repairs and maintenance will require €45.13 million, up by 12.8% from the sum for 2014. The Operational Programme Transport (OPD) will provide €266.8 million in 2015 for building motorways, a drop of 17.3% from the sum provided in 2014. Co-financing from the national budget will represent €44.32 million, a drop of 22.2% from 2014. There will also be an extra €112.55 million from the state budget for co-financing, a drop of 52.8% from 2014.
