Sunday, November 24, 2024 In a transformative move for transportation and trade, the ambitious ABC+De motorway project is set to revolutionize travel across Europe and Turkey. Spanning 786 miles, this groundbreaking infrastructure initiative aims to connect six nations from the Baltic Sea to the Aegean Sea, significantly enhancing regional connectivity and economic collaboration. A Major Infrastructure Initiative The ABC+De motorway, estimated to cost over £33 billion, is spearheaded by the Belgian firm Large Infrastructure Projects.
This endeavor seeks to link Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Hungary, Slovakia, and Turkey through a comprehensive road network designed to facilitate smoother travel for both passengers and freight. Currently, travelers and goods often navigate through Central Europe, facing inefficiencies due to the sparse direct routes available between northeastern and southeastern Europe. Once completed, this motorway will allow for seamless travel from northern Europe to the Aegean Sea, thereby reducing reliance on longer, cumbersome routes.
Notably, the new motorway is expected to cut journey lengths by a remarkable 3,100 miles, saving travelers up to three weeks compared to existing routes such as the Suez-Baltica corridor. Integrated Infrastructure for a Modern Era The project goes beyond just road construction. It also integrates high-speed rail systems, 5G networks, and fiber optic infrastructure, along with cargo ports located in Greece and Poland.
