Key assessment
The primary road network included about 49 200 km of motorways and 287 600 km of state roads in 1998. The length of the motorway network increased by 3 % per year between 1980 and 1998;Greece and Spain have the highest growth rates (respectively 9.6 % and 8.4 % per year).
The length of conventional railway lines decreased by about 9 % (mainly due to the closing of unprofitable small lines). The high-speed rail infrastructure is gradually being extended in line with plans for the TEN: the length of high-speed track almost tripled between 1990 and 1999, to more than 2 700 km, and is expected to increase to 24 000 km (of new and upgraded existing lines) by 2010. The length of the navigable waterways decreased by 8%.
