The European route E 20 is part of the United Nations International E-road network.
It runs roughly west-east through Ireland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia and finally Russia. The length is 1,880 km (1,170 mi).
The road is not continuous, at three points, a sea crossing is required. Roll-on/roll-off ferries make the crossings from Dublin to Liverpool and from Stockholm to Tallinn. No vehicle carrying vessels traverse the North Sea from Kingston-upon-Hull to Esbjerg (as of Feb 2011).
Famous quotes containing the words european and/or route:
“So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
