'''European route E30''' is an A-Class West-East European route, extending from the southern [[Ireland|Irish]] port of [[Cork]] in the west to the [[Russia]]n city of [[Omsk]] in the east.
 
 
 
== History ==
 
The E30 is one of the longest European routes with a total length of about 5800 km (3625 mi) (3300 km (2062 mi) from Cork to [[Moscow]], 2500 km (1560 mi) from Moscow to Omsk. The naming is by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
 
 
 
Formerly the route only went from Cork to [[Samara]], with an often reported length of 3070 miles (4912km).
 
 
 
Formerly, before 1985, this was the E8 (London-Berlin-Brest).
 
 
 
== Itinerary ==
 
The E30 routes over seven European countries, and includes two sea-crossings, one from [[Rosslare]] in [[Ireland]] to [[Fishguard]] in [[Wales]], and one from [[Felixstowe]] in [[England]] to [[Hoek van Holland]] in the [[Netherlands]].
 
 
 
=== Ireland ===
 
* [[N25 (Ireland)|N25]]: [[Cork]] - [[Waterford]] - [[Wexford]] - [[Rosslare|Rosslare Europort]]
 
 
 
The ferry Rosslare - Fishguard departs twice daily, taking about 3 hours.
 
 
 
=== United Kingdom ===
 
European routes are not recognized by UK authorities and not signposted in the UK.
 
 
 
* A40: [[Fishguard]] - [[Carmarthen]]
 
* A48: Carmarthen - [[Swansea]]
 
* [[M4 (GB)|M4]]: Swansea - [[Bridgend]] - [[Cardiff]] - [[Newport]] - [[Bristol]] -[[Swindon]] - [[Reading]] - [[Slough]]
 
* [[M25 (GB)|M25]]: [[Slough]] - [[Brentwood]]
 
* A12: Brentwood - [[Chelmsford]] - [[Colchester]] - [[Ipswich]]
 
* A14: Ipswich - [[Felixstowe]]
 
 
 
The nearest passenger ferries to Hoek Van Holland actually depart from [[Harwich]], across the Orwell river south of Felixstowe, at the [[E32]]. That ferry has 4 daily departures and takes about 4 hours. Cargo ferries depart from Felixstowe.
 
 
 
=== Netherlands ===
 
* N211: [[Hoek van Holland]] - [[Den Haag]]
 
* [[A12 (Netherlands)|A12]]: Den Haag - [[Gouda]] - [[Utrecht (city)|Utrecht]]
 
* [[A28 (Netherlands)|A28]]: Utrecht - [[Amersfoort]]
 
* [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]]: Amersfoort - [[Apeldoorn]] - [[Deventer]] - [[Hengelo]] - [[Oldenzaal]] - [[de Lutte]]

* [[A10 (Germany)|A10]]: Potsdam - [[Berlin]]
 
* [[A12 (Germany)|A12]]: Berlin - [[Frankfurt an der Oder|Frankfurt (Oder)]]
 
 
 
=== Poland ===
 
Within Poland E30 follows National Road 2 (DK2) and the [[A2 (Poland)|A2 motorway]].
 
* [[Świebodzin]] - [[Poznań]] - [[Konin]] - [[Łódź]] - [[Łowicz]] - [[Warsaw]] - [[Siedlce]] -  [[Biała Podlaska]]
 
 
 
=== Belarus ===
 
* [[M1 (Belarus)|M1]]: [[Brest (Belarus)|Brest]] - [[Minsk]]
 
 
 
=== Russia ===
 
The Russian stretch of this road coincides partly with the [[Asian Highway Network]]'s [[AH6]] (though this latter highway passes through [[Petropavl]], [[Kazakhstan]] in its stretch between Chelyabinsk and Omsk, unlike the E30). The E30 follows the Russian main road [[M1 (Russia)|M1 Belarus-Moscow]], [[M5 (Russia)|M5 Moscow-Chelyabinsk]] and [[M51 (Russia)||M51 Chelyabinsk-Kurgan]]. It goes along minor roads past [[Ishim]] in order to avoid the Kazak border towards [[Omsk]].
 
 
 
* [[M1 (Russia)|M1]]: [[Smolensk]] - [[Moscow]]
 
* [[M5 (Russia)|M5]]: Moscow - [[Ryazan]] - [[Penza]] - [[Samara, Russia|Samara]] - [[Ufa]] - [[Chelyabinsk]]
 
* [[M51 (Russia)|M51]]: Chelyabinsk - [[Kurgan (city)|Kurgan]]
 
* Minor roads: [[Kurgan]] - [[Ishim]] - [[Omsk]]
