Highways in Slovakia are divided into motorways (Slovak: diaľnica) and expressways (Slovak: rýchlostná cesta).
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 built in the 1930s. The planned motorway would have connected Prague with northern Slovakia. However, the construction of Slovak motorways did not begin until the 1970s.
NDS currently manages and maintains 854 km (530 mi) of motorways and expressways.[1] By the year 2030 the highway network Slovakia will be around 1,904 km.
