This site is maintained by DG Mobility and Transport of the European Commission. Covering at least three modes, these Corridors, based upon the Core Network, are set up starting from important entry points into the network, integrating the main cross-border sections and physical bottlenecks still to be realised, corresponding to the main trans-national traffic flows with a genuine European dimension, from the Union’s borders in the east to the ports in the west, from the North and Baltic Seas to the Mediterranean, from the Atlantic Ocean to central Europe. The core network corridors (According to chapter IV of TEN-T Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 and as listed in Part I of Annex I of CEF Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013.) are composed of 9 corridors crossing Europe. The core network is to be in place by 31 December 2030 at the latest. It concentrates on those components of TEN-T with the highest European added value: cross border missing links, key bottlenecks and multi-modal nodes. It constitutes the backbone of the multi-modal mobility network. The core network overlays the comprehensive network and consists of its strategically most important parts. The comprehensive network is to be in place by 31 December 2050 at the latest. It consists of all existing and planned infrastructure meeting the requirements of the Guidelines. The comprehensive network constitutes the basic layer of the TEN-T. The displayed TEN-T trajectories and TEN-T nodes are based on the commission adopted comprehensive and core network (COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATIONS (EU) 2019/254 OF 9 NOVEMBER 2018 & (EU) 2017/849 OF 7 DECEMBER 2016 AMENDING REGULATION (EU) No 1315/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 11 December 2013 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network and repealing Decision No 661/2010/EU).
