Motorways in Croatia
The A7 motorway (Croatian: Autocesta A7) is a 34.4-kilometre (21.4 mi) long motorway in Croatia.[1] It connects the nation's largest port, Rijeka, to the Croatian motorway network, as well as to the Rupa and Pasjak border crossings to Slovenia.[2] The motorway forms part of a longitudinal transportation corridor in Croatia, and it is a part of European route E61 Villach–Ljubljana–Trieste–Rijeka. The A7 motorway route south of Orehovica interchange, where it also intersects Pan-European corridor Vb, is a part of European route E65.[3][4]
The A7 motorway runs near a number of Croatian cities and provides access to Učka Nature Park and, indirectly, to numerous resorts in the Istria and Kvarner Gulf regions. The motorway is nationally significant because of its positive economic impact on the cities and towns it connects, and because of its contribution to tourism in Croatia.[5] The importance of the motorway as a transit route will be further increased upon completion of a proposed expansion of the Rijeka Port and Rijeka transport node.[6][7][8]
