The European Commission approved an investment of EUR 63 million from the Cohesion Fund to extend Bratislava’s tramway from the city centre to Bratislava’s most populous borough Petrzalka. The new 2.4 km double track tramway line will have three stops. The project also includes the reconstruction of the “Stary most” bridge. The line is planned to be completed by the end of 2015. “The extension of Bratislava’ tramway will help more people move around more easily, ensuring safe, sustainable and environmental-friendly travel conditions. This public transport project will also boost the city’s economic competitiveness and will help the country meet its climate change targets”, EU Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Creţu said.
