A 3861 Strabag construction consortium is to build a 5.6 km section of the D3 motorway in northern Slovakia on behalf of the state motorway company NDS. The US$253 million (€ 239 million) contract is scheduled to be completed after 48 months of construction.

The project comprises the construction of the roadway, 19 bridges, several retaining walls and more than 11 km of noise barriers. This section of motorway forms part of the Pan-European Transport Corridor and will improve the transport connection to the country’s northern neighbour of Poland.
