May 4370Link to the high resolution map here.NOWOGARD/VICTORIA- The Seleyan Union's Union Assembly President Tobby Espero announced that the Seleyan Union will look into the proposal of the Valruzian Council of Ministers regarding the
"Via Seleya", a multi-billion dollars project of trans-Seleyan highway connecting the north and south of the Seleyan Union and serve as an important part of the planned pan-Seleyan transportation network. Drafted by the Valruzian Ministry of Trade and Industry in cooperation with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure
Via Seleya is a planned 24.500 kilometers long high multilane highway running through seven countries (Lodamun, Valruzia, Tukarali, Aldegar, Mordusia, Alduria, and Kanjor). Valruzian Council of Ministers at its meeting on 20 May this year decided to raise by VPO 7 billion the financial limit for the Valruzian part of
Via Seleya. Out of this amount, VPO 6,2 billion will be spent on the construction of new roads, while the remaining 800 million for modernization of the existing network in order to meet the standard set by the Seleyan Union (regulated signs marking the road, information points, standardized entry-exit systems etc.). The Council of Ministers informed that allocating extra resources was necessary due to the need for increased investment activity in eastern Valruzia connected with building the missing sections of
Via Seleya between Jeziorne Sady and Trebegowice, and Nowogard and Hel. The expressway S9 between Hel and Brzansk will be upgraded to a highway standard.
A statement released by the Council of Ministers after the meeting of the government.
Via Seleya is a key trans-Seleyan transport corridor that may become a new connection between northern and southern Seleya, integrating the transport systems of Lodamun, Valruzia, Tukarali, Aldegar, Mordusia, Alduria, and Kanjor. This investment will help to incorporate less developed regions to the mainstream international trade exchange and unlock their growth potential
The additional funds will enable the contractors to build all the missing sections of the road between Jeziorne Sady and Trebegowice, and Nowogard and Hel on time. In the Chynberg Voivodeship, the road is ready between the border and Jeziorne Sady, the opening of next section (Jeziorne Sady-Trebegowice) is scheduled in the summer of 4375. The second planned section connects Nowogard with Hel, Chynberg Voivodeship. The third one connects Hel with Brzansk (here works will only be limited to upgraiding the existing infrastructure). The works are less advanced on the period from Brzansk to the southern border where the road is technically ready, and the only necessary work is to adjust the signs to fit the regulations of the SU. At the end of last year, VPO 95 million was allocated for hydrological and geological works to prepare the ground for building the entire road between the capital city and Hel. Technicians are analyzing the possibilities of using parts of the existing road like the existing A31 and A32 running from Nowogard, as this according to the Minister of Trade and Industry would generate at least VPO 500 million of savings.
Via Seleya is a conventional name of a planned transport corridor connecting - according to the initial concept - the NSEC states with southern Seleya. It runs through Lodamun, Valruzia, Tukarali, Aldegar, Mordusia, Alduria and Kanjor. The potential of
Via Seleya may benefit many transport routes, both within and outside the SU. The road is designed to branch out to Likatonia and Saridan, if such interest will be expressed by the government of those only two non-SU countries on the Continent.
