European Union financing for transport infrastructure will triple for the period 2014 to 2020 to €26 billion, and new maps of the major trans-European corridors have been drawn up. In what it describes as the most radical overhaul of EU infrastructure policy since its inception in the 1980s, the European Commission has published the new maps showing the nine major corridors which will act as a backbone for transportation in Europe's single market and revolutionise east-west connections. Taken as a whole, the new EU infrastructure policy aims to transform the existing patchwork of European roads, railways, airports and canals into a unified Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).
