SEB TRANS-LINK - South East Baltic TRANSport LINK
Overview
Background & policy context:
SEBTrans-Link is an EU-project with financial support from the so-called Interreg III B programme. The project is a direct continuation of the former Interreg II C project SEBTrans.
This SEBTrans project identified strong demand for improved infrastructure in the SEBTrans corridors. In the North-South Corridor, building the A1 motorway (Gdynia – Lodge) in Poland is a first priority together with improving the section within Sweden (Gothenburg – Borås – Växjö – Karlskrona). Road improvements promote local, regional and interregional cohesion most efficiently in the short term, though rail also needs improvements to be able to reach long term sustainable transport networks.
Port infrastructure should be developed in co-ordination with the hinterland links.
Objectives:
- Expanding, merging and linking local labour markets;
- Stimulation of business renewal by improved accessibility in transport networks;
- Protect the natural and urban environment and promote cultural assets;
- Strategies and plans to improve infrastructure and channel spatial development;
- Developing a 'breakpoint' system based on rail transport.
