Expressway R8 (R8) is a planned expressway in Slovakia, which after construction will connect Nitra, Topoľčany and Bánovce nad Bebravou. The expressway will lead in the corridor R1 and R2 . The total length of the R8 will be 54.64116 km and no European road will run along it. The construction of the expressway is expected only in the distant horizon after 2030, while it is not excluded that the need for its construction will be reassessed. According to the current plans of the Ministry of Transport, no sections of the R8 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.[1]
