en.Wedoany.com Reported - Slovakia's National Motorway Company has launched a tender for the next phase of construction of the Košice bypass project. The 6.8-kilometer section, which will run from Haniska to the city of Šaca, is estimated to cost approximately €162.5 million and includes five new bridges. Parts of the bypass are already open to traffic, providing drivers with a continuous connection from the I-16 road towards Šaca to the D1 motorway and R4 expressway sections around Košice.

Slovakia's National Motorway Company stated that ultimately, around 3,000 trucks per day will use this new section. Košice, the second-largest city in Slovakia with over 240,000 residents, will see its urban transit traffic pressure alleviated upon completion of the bypass, reducing noise and congestion caused by freight vehicles passing through the city center. The government is also considering upgrading the I-16 road, including widening and improving the shoulders. The launch of the tender for this new section of the bypass marks a new phase in the development of Košice's urban transport infrastructure. NDS stated that once the new section is completed, it will further improve the road network around Košice and enhance regional transport connectivity. When the entire bypass is fully operational, transit vehicles will no longer need to enter the city center of Košice, helping to improve road safety and transport efficiency. The tender process is expected to be completed within the coming months.
