The first kilometer of weighing cycling cars is a reality

The year 2017 will be written in the cycling history of Trenčiansky samosprávny kraj in block letters. In its territory, the first kilometer of the mega-project of the Weighing Cycle Route, which over 100 km of lengths, will be created across the entire self-governing region.

November, leaves fall and autumn fogs, but heavy machines and mechanisms work at Vážský canal in Nove Mesto nad Váhom. And not just there. From Horná Streda to Nové Mesto nad Váhom they build the initial kilometers of the first stretch of the Vázská cyklotrasa . For the Trenčín self-governing region it is a historical moment.

For the first time with the idea of ​​building the main bicycle artery connecting the southern boundary of the region with the north, the current bathrobe Jaroslav Baška came in 2014. The preparation of the 100 km cycling project has led to literally years of work on documentation or property settlements. It is the year 2017 and in the region after 4 years its first kilometers are created. "What we have been saying and proclaiming for four years is becoming a reality. Today we met in Novy Meste nad Vahom on the control day of construction of the first stretch of 100 km of cycle path. It reaches almost 13.5 kilometers in length, with most of this section already being realized. This section of the cycle route from the border with Trnava self-governing region to Nove Mesto nad Vahom should be completed in case of good climatic conditions by the end of this year ", informed the author of the idea during the inspection day; Trenčiansky župan Jaroslav Baška with thanks to all the people who participated in the preparation of this unique work. "The Weighbridge cycle project corresponds to the Green County project objectives. I think the environment will be somewhat easier than automobile traffic when people go for work or other bicycle activities, " added the robe.

The cycle path is built from a special surface that creates excellent conditions not only for cyclists but also for skaters . In the winter, it should even be accessible for cross country skiers. "The cycling route in this region extends the opportunities for attendance and creates a basic communication axis for cyclists. Weighbridge will create a corridor along the Váh River, which will be important not only for the Trenčín region, but will also be connected to neighboring regions, even with links to international cycling trails. So this cycle route is also of particular importance from the point of view of international tourism, " said Igor Ševčík, building construction supervision.

The investor of the construction of the first stretch of the magistral, almost 13.5 km long, is the Trenčiansky samosprávny kraj, with construction costs amounting to almost 3.7 mil. €. To build further sections of the project and due to their not only tourist, but also cyclotourism nature, TSK wants to use the possibility of financing through European funds. For the inhabitants of the region, this cycling artery will be a safe and fully-fledged alternative to motor transport . Thus, besides the cyclists themselves, the construction of the building is also praised by the mayors of the adjacent municipalities or mayors of the affected places. "A cycle route for our community will bring a great benefit in the field of sports. Until now, people have been forced to use service communications alongside the Biskupic Channel, which has not only personal but also costly cars, so there have been no collisions and injuries. The great positive aspect of the work is its segregation from motor traffic and thus the higher safety of cyclists, "said Potvorice Mayor Ľubomír Malo.

Cycle route linking three counties; Trnavský, Trenčiansky and Žilinský

Also, considering the parameters of this largest county project at all, the construction of the weighbridge is divided into 8 sections . The second stretch, which should be built in the near term, is a 4-kilometer stretch between Púchovo and Nimnica Baths. A legally binding territorial decision has already been issued for the next section of the cycle route between Novy Mest nad Vahom and the county town of Trencin. More detailed information on cycling tickets is regularly updated at www.cyklotrasytsk.sk .

Weighbridge is only a working name

The actual name for the 100 km cycling savage is proposed by the inhabitants of Trenčín self-governing region. They can do so in the period from 22.11.2017 to 22.5.2018 . Among the proposals sent to the public, the vote will be taken by the public, which will become the official name of this cycle route. The main prize for the creative mind will be for the author of the winning title mountain bike . You can read more about the competition in the press release as well as in the competition status announced by the Trenčín Self-governing Region.
