Drivers will find renovated motorways and expressways throughout the country, with most of the renovated roads located in eastern Slovakia. The largest investment in improving road conditions was the reconstruction of the D1 motorway section near the municipalities of Štrba and Lučivná. Other major reconstruction projects in 2024 included the reconstruction of the D2 motorway section near the municipalities of Kúty, Malacky, Veľké Leváre and Lamač. The pavement of the R1 expressway near Banská Bystrica was also renewed.
“Motorways and expressways are the most convenient means of transport, especially for long journeys, and are therefore used intensively by motorists. We are aware that some motorways have been in use for decades already and are worn out by thousands of cars and trucks. That is why we stress the importance of road repairs,” said Rastislav Droppa, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors and Operations Section Director of NDS.
NDS employees maintain more than 1,000 kilometers of motorways, expressways and selected 1st class roads, regularly checking their condition, carrying out maintenance works and, if necessary, partial or complex repairs.
