Highway network in Slovakia

The highways in Slovakia are divided into motorways, Template:Lang-sk and expressways, Template:Lang-sk.

The majority of these dual carriageways are managed by the state-owned National Motorway Company of Slovakia - NDS, established in 2005. The first modern highway in Slovakia should have been in the 30s planned motorway connecting Prague with northern parts of Slovakia; however the construction of the Slovak motorways was not started until 1970s.

NDS is currently managing and maintaining 499 km (310 mi) of motorways and 230 km (143 mi) of expressways.[1]
