border.
It forms part of the following European routes: E50
, E58
, E75
, E571
and of the V.A Pan-European corridor (Trieste
) - Bratislava - Žilina - Košice - Uzhorod - (Lviv
)
As of December 2007, out of the total 517 km there were:
With the exceptions of sections in Bratislava a vignette is required to use the motorway
to Slovakia and Mukachevo in today's Zakarpattia Oblast
in Ukraine, which was part of Czechoslovakia
at that time, were in the 1930s. The construction of the motorway (freeway) began in the Czech part in the late 1930s, but in the Slovak part nothing was built. After the end of World War II, highway construction was abandoned, due to post-war reconstruction. But in the 1960s, traffic was growing very fast, and a new plan for a D1 highway was available soon, without the part in Zakarpattia Oblast, which became part of the USSR in 1945.
In the Czech part of Czechoslovakia construction work began in 1967. In the Slovak part it began in 1973 by the construction of the part Ivachnová
- Liptovský Mikuláš
, a 14 km long section in northern Slovakia, along with the construction of the Liptovská Mara
dam. In 1972 construction of section from Bratislava to Senec began (it was D61 at that time) and in the 1970s extended to Trnava (total 36 km). The 19 km Prešov - Košice motorway was added in 1980. Until the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia
in 1993, another 20 km were built - from L. Mikuláš to Hybe
-, totalling some 52 km in the Slovak part, contrasting to 224 km in Czech part. D61 was built to the village of Horná Streda
few kilometres behind Piešťany
in 1988, with the total length of that section 42 km. Further 45 km were built after 1993 on D1, and another 27 km on D61, until D1 and D61 merged with each other to form the current D1 motorway.
In 1999, Dzurinda
's government stopped or slowed down construction on unopened sections - around Sverepec, for example and stopped preparation for various others. Construction continued again since 2002. Construction works continue today, and the planned date for finishing the entire motorway from Bratislava
to Košice
varies.
The most difficult section to construct will be between Žilina
and Ružomberok
, as there will be most of the tunnels on the entire motorway, including the longest one near Višňové
. The motorway has also disputed planned section around Prešov
, as there are disagreements over the planned routes.
There are plans to "finish" D1 between Bratislava
and Košice
in 2015 - with several important exceptions. Žilina
and Prešov
bypass
es will be temporaly substituted by four-lane road through these towns and all tunnels between Žilina
and Prešov
will be opened only as two-lane tunnels with two-way traffic. Four-lane motorway connecting two largest towns in Slovakia
will be finished at the earliest in 2018.
.
D1 will be completed around year 2020, as 3+3 lane
