TEN-T Projects

The TEN-T programme consists of hundreds of projects – defined as studies or works – whose ultimate purpose is to ensure the cohesion, interconnection and interoperability of the trans-European transport network, as well as access to it. TEN-T projects, which are located in every EU Member State, include all modes of transport: 

• road
• rail
• maritime
• inland waterways
• air
• logistics
• co-modality
• innovation

30 Priority Projects (or Axes) and other horizontal priorities have also been established to concentrate on pan-European integration and development.

As a whole, TEN-T projects aim to:

• Establish and develop the key links and interconnections needed to eliminate existing bottlenecks to mobility
• Fill in missing sections and complete the main routes - especially their cross-border sections
• Cross natural barriers
• Improve interoperability on major routes

Our key publication TEN-T Projects in Figures contains essential statistical information on the projects managed by the TEN-T EA and is an essential read for anyone wishing to know more about the Agency's operations and impact on the TEN-T programme.
