A study of highway construction costs in eight European countries highlights Austria as the most expensive. The report says that highways in Austria cost €12.87 million/km. The next most expensive country is Hungary at €11.21 million/km, followed by Slovakia at €9.56 million/km and then the Czech Republic at €8.86 million/km. At the other end of the spectrum, costs in Denmark are only €5.89 million/km, in Croatia €6.682 million/km, in Slovenia €7.29 million/km and in Germany €8.24 million/km. Terrain can increase costs significantly and construction of highways in mountainous terrain is most expensive in Germany at €25.99 million/km, followed by Austria with €24.97 million/km, with the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Croatia following in descending order. The costs of mountain highway construction were not collated for Denmark and Hungary due to the largely flat terrain. Construction of motorway bridges costs most, and is particularly expensive in Hungary, followed by Denmark, Germany and the Czech Republic. The lowest bridge costs are in Croatia, ahead of Slovenia and Slovakia. Construction of tunnels is most expensive in the Czech Republic, then in Germany and Hungary.
