PROMAS
The Northern Axis – Barents Link project aimed to develop an east-west transportation corridor and cross-border mobility in the Barents Euro-Arctic region. The project investigated the potential of key transportation infrastructures in the participating areas, as well as the Northern Axis and Barents Link transportation corridors. The goal was to identify bottlenecks within the transportation corridor and, thereby, further harmonize its development. The project sought to enhance understanding and define the impacts of various initiatives on transportation routes and networks, including their effects on economic sustainability.
After the Russian aggression towards Ukraine, the common east-west corridor planning with Russia was cancelled.
