Slovakia's Transport Ministry has been working with highway firm NDS on a highway construction programme for the 2011-2014 period. The programme calls for five tenders for five sections of the D1 highway. These five sections were part of the PPP project for the D1 highway, which was cancelled due to funding issues. Construction work on the Dubna Skala-Turany, Turany-Hubova, Hubova-Ivachnova, Janovce-Jablonov and Fricovce-Svinia stages of the D1 will start from the middle of this year through to the second quarter of 2012. In all these sections will total 75km and are due for completion in 2013-2015.

The tender for the 11.2km stage of the D1 from Fricovce-Svinia is open and is expected to cost €213.2 million, while the work will take three years to complete. Funding will be provided by the 3287 EU Cohesion Fund and the government budget funds within the Operational Programme Transport. Slovakia's Transport Ministry hopes to open the Turany-Hubova section of the D1 highway by 2015. The Transport Ministry has said that Slovakia will meet criteria for EU funding for the project in spring 2011.
