One important objective of the Slovak Republic is to connect the transport network to the international European route E58 in the direction of West-East, thus improving conditions for international and national transport and increasing continuity, speed and road safety. The R2 expressway in the Bátka-Figa section was defined in the government approved “Strategic Transport Development Plan of the Slovak Republic until 2030 – Phase II” – in December 2016. The construction of the R2 expressway in the section Bátka – Figa category R 11,5/100 with the proposed length of 6183 m will contribute to increasing the capacity of the road road in the direction of the west-east, ensuring a higher transport function and creating a coherent network of motorways and expressways with a trans-regional transport function.The activities of the project are focused on the project preparation of the expressway with the aim of removing key bottlenecks on the TEN-T road infrastructure through the preparation (construction) of new sections of expressways.The location of the project implementation is Banskobystrický kraj, Rimavská Sobota district. The R2 expressway is part of the TEN-T Comprehensive network, with an important national and international transport function.
