Description:
The R1 expressway will link the two biggest Slovak cities — Bratislava in the west and Košice in the east — via the country’s south. This southern corridor is shorter than the northern highway corridor (part of the TEN-T Corridor V/A). It is a part of the European road network E 58. The 18 kilometres long section between Žarnovica and Šášovské Podhradie lies in central Slovakia, and its 8.5 kilometres long problematic second part is projected to pass through the town of Žiar nad Hronom.
