The Via Carpathia transnational highway, currently being built, and the planned Central Communication Hub (CPK) in central Poland have been included in the EU's Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), Poland's infrastructure minister announced on Monday in Brussels.

"A very important day for Poland today. In plain words - we are witnessing the crowning of our years-long efforts to have the main communication corridors - especially those in east Poland - included in the TEN-T network," Andrzej Adamczyk said after a meeting of EU transport ministers.

The Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) is a planned network of roads, railways, airports and water infrastructure in the European Union. TEN-T envisages coordinated upgrades of primary roads, railway routes, inland waterways, air terminals, sea and inland ports and traffic control systems to enable integrated and intermodal long-distance, high-speed travel and transportation.
