Encyclopedic overview
European route E40 (E40) is a European route connecting Calais in France with Ridder in Kazakhstan near the border with Russia and China. 8,641 kilometres (5,369 miles) long, it is the longest route in the International E-road network. A different route, connecting Calais and Ridder, is about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles) shorter, mostly using the E30 via Berlin, Moscow, and Omsk. The E40 differs from that route in order to provide additional direct east–west access to Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan, with a combined population base approaching 50 million people as of 2021.
From Dresden to Kyiv, it forms part of Pan-European Corridor III.
