Skanska’s New Infrastructure Project
Skanska has recently signed a landmark contract with the National Motorway Company to develop a motorway in Slovakia. Valued at EUR 261 million, approximately SEK 2.9 billion, this project will greatly enhance regional transport infrastructure.
Highway Details and Benefits
The new highway, specifically the 9.6-kilometer stretch known as D3 section Kysucké Nové Mesto - Oš?adnica, will provide essential connectivity between Žilina and the Kysuce region. Not only will this project improve local traffic conditions, but it is also designed to facilitate international transit to neighboring countries, including Poland and Czechia.
Project Features
This significant motorway project will include a variety of features aimed at enhancing travel safety and convenience. Among these will be a multi-level crossing, a rest area, 20 bridges, and 14 kilometers of noise barriers, along with comprehensive technical infrastructure to ensure robust functionality.
Creating Safer Communities
One of the key benefits of the D3 Kysucké Nové Mesto - Oš?adnica motorway is the diversion of heavy traffic from local roadways. This redirection is expected to not only improve commuter safety but also reduce noise and emissions, contributing to a healthier environment for communities living in the Kysuce valley.
Timeline and Expectations
Work on this exciting project is projected to commence around early 2026 and is estimated to take approximately three and a half years to complete. Residents and travelers alike can look forward to a safer and more efficient travel experience once the motorway is operational.
