Expressway R6 is a expressway in Slovakia, which after its completion will connect D1 (intersection Beluša) with Púchov and the border crossing to the Czech Republic at Lysá pod Makytou. It will be located in the corridor I/49 and will pass through slightly undulating terrain. At the border, the R6 road will be connected to the Czech highway D49. Both roads, R6 and D49 are included in the pan-European network of multimodal corridors TEN-T. In the past, according to the rhetoric of NDS a.s., more significant construction of the R6 road currently depended on the progress of works on the D49 highway in the Czech Republic. České ŘSD (obdoba NDS a.s.) assumes that the D49 will reach the Czech-Slovak border in at least half its profile in 2033. On the Czech side, the construction of the first, 17.3 km long section of the D49 highway was started near Zlín in 2021, and approximately 40 km, which are divided into seven sections.
According to the current plans of the Ministry of Transport, no sections of the R6 road will be constructed or open until 2028. With regard to the current intentions of the Ministry of Transport, the operation of the expressway along the entire length of the route cannot be expected before the year 2050.
