Following a report analysing the transport situation in the Bratislava region (BSR), the government is to invest some US$483.73 million into new transport projects in the region by 2015.

Projects include the construction of infrastructure, improvement of public transport and the development of all types of transport, through the current Operational Programme Transport (OPT) and future Integrated Operational Programme Infrastructure.

By mid-2014 the Transport Ministry plans to select an advisor for the PPP projects of construction of three stretches of the R7 expressway, namely Bratislava/Prievoz-Ketelec, Ketelec-Dunajska Luzna and Dunajska Luzna-Holice, as well as the construction of the D4 motorway stretch Bratislava/Jarovce-Ivanka Pri Dunaji-Raca and the Triblavina exit on the D1 motorway.

Two of the most important transport projects in the BSR are the reconstruction of the Old Bridge in Bratislava and the associated tramway, which are to be built simultaneously. In an effort to integrate public transport, round 30 new trains and 80 trolleybuses will be added to the urban public transport services, together with fifteen news trains to be added to the suburban rail network.
