'''European route E&nbsp;67''' is an [[International E-road network|E-road]] running from [[Prague]] in the [[Czech Republic]] to [[Estonia]] and by ferry to Finland. It goes via Prague, [[Wrocław]], [[Warsaw]], [[Kaunas]], [[Panevėžys]], [[Riga]], [[Tallinn]], [[Helsinki]].

The route is known as the '''Via Baltica''' between Warsaw and Tallinn, with a distance of {{convert|970|km}}. It is a significant road connection between the [[Baltic states]] and [[Poland]]. 

The route is mostly a [[motorway]] or [[Limited-access road|expressway]] with some sections of a [[2+1 road]] and [[single carriageway]]. 
Along the Via Baltica highway, the stretch of European route E67 between Warsaw and Tallinn, a [[5G]] [[mobile network]] will be built in order to facilitate [[self-driving vehicles]] and expand opportunities for [[Freight company|freight carriers]].<ref>[https://news.err.ee/865196/baltic-ministers-sign-via-baltica-5g-agreement Baltic ministers sign Via Baltica 5G agreement] [[Eesti Rahvusringhääling]] 29.09.2018</ref>

== Environmental concerns ==
The Via Baltica attracted great controversy in 2007, as its planned new [[Highways in Poland|express road]] was to take it through several areas in Poland of great natural value.  Most controversial was the [[Augustów]] bypass, which would take the route through the [[wetlands]] of the [[Rospuda]] Valley, the last area of its kind remaining in Europe,{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} and an area protected by [[European Union|EU]] law as part of the [[Natura 2000|European Natura 2000 Network]].  In July 2007 Polish Prime Minister [[Jarosław Kaczyński]] halted work on the bypass after the [[European Commission]] applied for an immediate injunction.<ref>{{cite news |first= Adam |last= Easton |title= Poland halts wetlands road plan  |url= https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6923745.stm |work= BBC News |publisher= BBC |date= 2007-07-31 |access-date=2008-08-30 }}</ref>   After an intense campaign of protests in Poland and abroad and also counter-protests of the local community, the plans have been changed, and now the highway has been rerouted to completely avoid the wilderness area.<ref name="rasoc">[http://wyborcza.pl/1,75248,6417107,Rospuda_ocalona.html  ''Rospuda ocalona'']</ref><ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7962918.stm BBC - Poland reverses to spare wetland]</ref> The road was inaugurated on 20 October 2025 in a ceremony led by Lithuanian President [[Gitanas Nausėda]] and Polish president [[Karol Nawrocki]] at the [[Lithuania–Poland border]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=New road linking Baltic states to Poland opens at a time of tensions with Russia |url=https://apnews.com/article/via-baltica-road-poland-estonia-latvia-lithuania-7f3870062c5ce077ceb6ee98cc928d7b |last=Dapkus |first=Liudas |date=2025-10-20 |access-date=2025-10-20 |website=AP}}</ref>
