D1 motorway (Bratislava – Žilina – Poprad – Prešov – Košice – Ukrainian border)

From the D1/D2 interchange at Pečňa through the Viedenská cesta exit to the Dolnozemská cesta and Panónska exits, mostly in the middle of Einsteinova street. Construction cost 1.908 billion SKK (prose only: SKK is not in the exchange-rate table). Historiadialnic.sk gives the length as 3.867 km; the recorded 3.2 km is from sk.wikipedia. The drawn line runs from the Viedenská exit to the Dolnozemská junction (3.45 km) and omits the Pečňa interchange ramps.

Two sections grouped by sourced opening year: Prístavný most – Prievoz (3.0 km, 1983 left half, 1985 right half; 1.085 billion Kčs) and Prievoz – Mierová (2.6 km, opened 1990 after six years of construction). Length is the sum of the two table lengths. The Prístavný most itself is 460.8 m, built April 1978 to December 1985. Exact opening days are not given in the sources used.

Three exits, the Zlaté Piesky rest area and the 1756 m Prievoz viaduct. Opened to traffic on 31 August 2002 and finally completed in December 2007. Construction cost 3.544 billion SKK (prose only).

Five original sections grouped by sourced opening year: Senecká cesta – Senec 13.0 km (1975), Senec – Trnava 23.1 km (1978), Trnava – Hlohovec 15.9 km (1982), Hlohovec – Piešťany 17.7 km (July 1985) and Piešťany – Horná Streda 8.1 km (1988). Exact opening days are given in the sources only for Hlohovec – Piešťany (month). Until 1999 the Bratislava – Trenčín stretch was formally the D61. The current widening of the Bratislava Vajnory – Triblavina stretch is an upgrade of this road and is not recorded as a lot here.

Horná Streda – Nové Mesto nad Váhom (14.4 km) and Nové Mesto nad Váhom – Chocholná (13.1 km). Both opened as half profile on 10 September 1998 and were unaffected by the 1999 construction freeze. The 3.4 km stretch between the Lúka exit and the Hrádok rest area is built to serve as a reserve military airstrip.

Chocholná – Skala 10.3 km (started September 1991), Skala – Nemšová 7.6 km (started 1994) and Nemšová – Ladce 15.5 km (started 1996). The Trenčín feeder (3.5 km) was handed over on 18 September 2002 and is not included. The date of the Nemšová – Ladce half-profile opening differs between sources, so only the year is recorded.

27 bridges, the longest being the 902 m Pružinka, and the Púchov feeder. The rest of the section opened on 9 December 2005 with a provisional connection to road I/61, removed when the next section to Vrtižer opened.

Includes the 1444 m viaduct above Považská Bystrica and the 1694.5 m viaduct along the Hričov canal. Historiadialnic.sk gives the two sub-sections as 4.9 km and 4.695 km; the recorded 9.8 km is from the sk.wikipedia section table.

Shortened from the original 13.5 km to end at the D1/D3 interchange at Hričovské Podhradie. Replaced the congested road I/61 between Považská Bystrica and Žilina; includes the Bytča exit.

South bypass of Žilina with the Ovčiarsko tunnel (2360 m) and the Žilina tunnel. The contractual completion date was January 2018. Opened for vehicles up to 7.5 t only until the next section to Dubná Skala opened; the Lietavská Lúčka exit was built only to the extent needed for the opening. Length is from the sk.wikipedia table; historiadialnic.sk gives 11.32 km.

Contains the 7445 m Višňové tunnel, the longest road tunnel in Slovakia. Dúha – Salini Impregilo built until work collapsed at the turn of 2018 and 2019; Skanska completed it. The CDB register gives the section as 13 km and the sk.wikipedia table as 13.5 km; historiadialnic.sk gives 13.51 km. The 2014 and 2021 contract figures are as reported by sk.wikipedia, whose VAT basis is not stated.

Exits Dubná Skala and Ratkovo and the D1/R3 interchange at Martin, 28 bridges. The 1.652 km R3 feeder from Martin is listed separately in the sources (table: 13.5 km plus 3.3 km feeder) and is not part of this length. Historiadialnic.sk gives 16.41 km for the whole works and sk.wikipedia prose 16.5 km.

NDS lists the section at the stage 'tender for the contractor' (13.53 km). The MDV schedule 2026–2036, as tabulated on sk.wikipedia, gives a start in 2027 and traffic opening in 2034. The route returned in 2017 to the 2002 design with the Korbeľka tunnel; the section also includes the Havran tunnel. An earlier tender launched in August 2024 was ordered cancelled by the procurement office ÚVO in December 2025 for technical deficiencies (sk.wikipedia).

Ružomberok bypass with the 3.6 km Čebrať tunnel, between the Hubová and Ivachnová interchanges, 14.92 km. MDV and NDS announced on 17 September 2026 that traffic would start on the evening of 5 October 2026. TASR (via TA3) reported on 5 October 2026 that NDS handed the section over for use that day, and sk.wikipedia records it as opened on 5 October 2026; the NDS project page and the CDB register still showed it as upcoming when retrieved. The tunnel breakthrough was on 15 November 2022. sk.wikipedia dates the stop of work to early 2015; NDS dates the interruption to 2016.

Three sections grouped by sourced opening: Ivachnová – Liptovský Mikuláš 15 km (241.3 million Kčs), Liptovský Mikuláš – Liptovský Ján 6.4 km (368 million Kčs) and Liptovský Ján – Liptovský Hrádok 5.1 km (502.7 million Kčs), with the 1035 m Podtureň viaduct, the longest road bridge in Slovakia. The Ivachnová – Liptovský Mikuláš section was built together with the Liptovská Mara reservoir and for decades began with a temporary connection to road I/18.

Built in two stages: half profile from April 1983 to June 1986, full profile from April 1987 to October 1990. Total cost 583.2 million Kčs. The cantilever-built Dovalovec bridge is 526.4 m long.

Runs parallel to road I/18 and the railway along the Biely Váh. One exit (Východná) built at first, Hybe and Važec completed later; the Hybe exit was built as a half exit towards Bratislava. Finishing works continued to October 2007. Cost 3.461 billion SKK (prose only).

23 bridges and the 250 m Lučivná tunnel; only the Štrba rest area was built. Includes Vlčia jama at 924 m above sea level, the highest point of the Slovak motorway network.

Crosses the Poprad basin, with the 999 m Bôrik tunnel, passing Svit to the north and Batizovce to the south and ending north of Poprad at the exit towards road I/18 between Jánovce and Spišský Štvrtok. Built in three sub-sections between 2005 and 2009.

Split into two sub-sections for the tender, each procured separately, at the Levoča exit. The I. podúsek contract was signed on 17 June 2011 and works started on 20 June 2011 with a foundation-stone ceremony. On 2 November 2012 part of the deck of the eastern Iliašovce viaduct collapsed during concreting. Four workers died.

Eight bridges with a combined length of 2520 m and the Jablonov exit onto road I/18. The right carriageway opened on 7 June 2010 and the left on 14 December 2012. Completing the second profile took 24 months and cost 34.217 million EUR excluding VAT (sk.wikipedia; not recorded as a cost field because it covers the completion, not the whole section). Length is 4.7 km in the section table and 4.6 km in the section prose. The Studenec end has no mapped junction and is placed 4.7 km after the Spišské Podhradie exit.

Section without exits at the foot of Spiš Castle, parallel to road I/18, with two bridge structures. The section table gives 3.4 km and the section prose 3.1 km.

Opened as half profile: one tube of the 4.975 km Branisko tunnel and one carriageway. Total cost 9.219 billion SKK (prose only). Construction was slowed by the financial problems of 1998 and 1999. NDS lists a second profile (Beharovce – Branisko, 7.30 km) at the feasibility-study stage; it is not recorded as a lot.

Replaced road I/18 between Svinia and Fričovce; section without exits. Historiadialnic.sk gives 11.217 km.

Five bridges with a combined length of 930 m and the Malý Šariš rest area. Of the Prešov západ interchange only one ramp, serving both directions, was built at first; the rest of that ramp was built from September 2016 to September 2017 (Skanska SK, 1.99 million EUR, as reported by sk.wikipedia). The interchange was fully completed only with the next section.

South-west bypass of Prešov, built as a joint venture of the listed firms. The building permit was issued at the end of February 2015 and became final in June 2015. The tunnel breakthrough was on 13 June 2019. Historiadialnic.sk gives 7.87 km. The contract value is not recorded.

Two sections of the Prešov – Košice motorway, built in two stages from April 1978 to April 1988: Prešov juh – Ličartovce 10.6 km (opened November 1982) and Ličartovce – Budimír (Košice sever) 9.1 km (opened April 1988). Costs are in Kčs (prose only).

Part of the Košice bypass formed by the D1, R2 and R4; includes the D1/R2 interchange at Rozhanovce, eight bridges and a second feeder to Košice. The building permit was issued in April 2015 and the tender announced on 4 June 2015. Historiadialnic.sk dates the opening 16 December 2019 as well.

Bidovce – Dargov 12.60 km, Dargov – Pozdišovce 18.18 km and Pozdišovce – Michalovce 12.05 km, all in the EIA process according to NDS (the NDS list labels the middle one 'Dargov – Michalovce'; the sk.wikipedia table gives Dargov – Pozdišovce 18.2 km, which matches). Length is the sum of the three NDS lengths. The MDV schedule 2026–2036 does not include these sections; sk.wikipedia notes earlier forecasts of 2030 for the start. A Dargov tunnel of about 4 km was under discussion. The route is the OSM proposed alignment (41.5 km drawn); the Michalovce end is placed in proportion to the NDS lengths.

In the EIA process according to NDS. The MDV schedule 2026–2036, as tabulated on sk.wikipedia, gives a start in 2032 and opening in 2035; the section has no building permit and no contractor. The route is the OSM proposed alignment; the Sobrance end is placed in proportion to the NDS lengths.

Final section to the border with Ukraine near Vyšné Nemecké, in the EIA process according to NDS. It is not in the MDV schedule 2026–2036; sk.wikipedia states completion of the whole D1 no earlier than 2040.

Feeder road linking the D1 at Lietavská Lúčka with Žilina, the Žilina bypass and the Rajec valley; 5 bridges, 1820 m of retaining walls and nearly 800 m of noise barriers. It continues the II. etapa. Start 2/2026 and opening 2030 are from the MDV schedule as tabulated on sk.wikipedia. The feeder is not on the D1 itself and is included because NDS and the sources treat it as part of the D1 works.
