Can sombody post a comprehensive map of the current freeway network in BiH? I mean what has already been completed, or is really nearing completion. As a matter of fact that should be the first post of this thread, and it should be updated from time to time. Btw, BiH is a very nice country.

Here's an inverted map, with E-661 stretching from Sava (north) direction Laktaši and Banja Luka (south). From today, 30.11 , traffic is open from Čatrnja to Mahovljani interchange (which is still u/c), meaning lots 1, 2 and 3. Section Mahovljani - Glamočani is open for traffic since 30.04.2011.

Thanks :)

Great to hear that Banja Luka is now connected to Croatia with a motorway. Btw, does the motorway already exist north of Čatrnja, or you have to wait for Croatia?

We have to wait for Croatia. There is motorway till Sava.

Maybe I missed it... Has A1 Kakanj - Bilješevo already opened? If so, on which date?

Maybe I missed it... Has A1 Kakanj - Bilješevo already opened? If so, on which date?

05/2012 is the due date.

Thanks! Will the section to Zenica be opened at the same time? And Sarajevo Bypass?

Sarajevo Bypass:

Section 1 & Section 2: late summer or early autumn 2012
Section 3: still to see, I believe not before 2014 :ohno:

A1 Kakanj - Zenica:

Section 1: may 31, 2012

Section 3: autumn 2012

Section 2: it's 3,5 km long tunnel Vijenac, end of 2013/early 2014

Thanks! Will the section to Zenica be opened at the same time? And Sarajevo Bypass?

No
due date for Drivusa - Gorica 12/2012
Tunnel Vijenac 11/2013
The first 2 sections of Sarajevo Bypass are due 07/2012
The 2 southern segments 11/2012 (the tender for the second section was completed 28.11.2011) The third section has started expropriation problem is the company that made the project made several omissions (exactly as on the first two parts of Sarajevo bypass and Bilješevo - Kakanj)
There is also the section tarcin - suhodol completion time 30 months from access to site.(tender also completed 28.11.2011)the other 2 sections are in per-qualification for tender closing 8.12.2012.
The start of next year of the funded projects the per-qualification for drivusa - klopca and svilaj - odzak.
The rest like orasije - tuzla (main project due, funding?), klopca - d. gracanica (expropriation and main project finished funding?), zvirovici - pocitelj (main project being validated signing of eib loan still on hold), banjaluka - doboj (expropriation project completed but final decision of model of financing still unclear).

BTW: Bad Hafen, you know from other discussion that Adriatic-Ionian motorway through BiH in this region is in best case a proposal but far from being really built.

Correct. But, also the style is different. Look at the arrows.

Seems like the Croatian way of sign posting is spreading through the X-U area, which is a good choice IMO :cheers:

(Serbia and Slovenia being the exceptions?)

I have noticed, that new signs in Republic Srpska have a place name first on Cyrillic letter (Serbian), and than on Latin (Bosnian and Croatian - same transcription), and new signs in Federation Bosnia & Herzegovina are first on Latin, and then on Cyrillic ...

True the difference in signage between ex-YU countries exists, but it is really minor. Non-motorway-freaks wouldn't even notice it ;)

P.S.: Driving in BiH must be really fun ! :)

Can someone please show me an old sign from Yugoslavian times which shows the road number, e.g. M1 or M5? I didn't find anything with Google... Thanks!

Can someone please show me an old sign from Yugoslavian times which shows the road number, e.g. M1 or M5? I didn't find anything with Google... Thanks!

As I can remember, during SFRY time, there were no road number signs with M letter ...

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g352/bambyle/RoadNumSFRJ.jpg

This signs were taken from Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY succesor state) "Rule book about traffic signs on roads", so it is same like during SFRY time, becouse rule books were just copy-pasted...

http://www.ni.rs/uploads/doc/uprave/ukdes/Pravilnik%20o%20saobracajnim%20znakovima%20na%20putevima.pdf
* Rule book is on Serbian Cyrillic letter

^^there were M, R and L roads in YU.

^^there were M, R and L roads in YU.
I found only these signs, even in YU books for preparation of drivers license tests ... I really cannot remember M, R and L signs... I remember them only on maps, not on signs ... and there are no M,R and L road signs in rule books that i have lsited :( Of course, it doesn't mean that they didn't existed, but I cannot remember them nor find them on any picture, or official document

M - for Main roads (Magistralni putevi)
R - for Regional roads (Regionalni putevi)
L - for Local roads (Lokalni putevi)

In Bosnia there are still some old distance marks with M designations. They were white with red top and km and number designation.
I don't remember if they were at other signs (direction signs), I don't think so

Actually, all the way up to mid 80's, we had real proper Milestones^^

Painted white, with red top. They were modernized into signs at the end of 1970's, not before, but only on the newly built roads :)

Do signs along the new E661 motorway or on connecting roads (other than the signs shown upthread on pages 39-40) actually show "E661"? Or an A number?

Is the Gradishka interchange signed as Exit 1 because it is the first interchange from Croatia or because it is ~1 km from the Croatia border.

As more motorway sections are completed in RS and FBiH, will they use similar sign styles, A numbers, continuous exit numbering, etc.? Or will each have its own style for these details?

BL-Gradiska motorway has only E661 designation and that only on "milestones" not on any other sign.

Exit 1 is the first exit, that is the reason why it is designated with number one.

Considering signs style no one knows what will be in the future, but all signs on other roads are same style, so we should expect them to use the same style, but there is a lot of amateurism in this area.

E-661

Works on Mahovljani interchange. Once finished in mid-2012, the interchange will link two sections of E-661 already open for traffic (Glamočani-Mahovljani, April 2011, and Mahovljani-Čatrnja, November 2011).

Great sign! :D

They could put the ovals with the white background and the letters in black ,as it is everywehere else, for better reading, but anyway it is good they show the distances to the nearest capital cities.

^^ Letters on a green background are usually white.

Yes I know, but as you read well my post I wrote that white ovals with black letters would be better and more readable, that's all. :)

Oops, you were still talking about ovals.

Tunel is few meters less than 3000 meters long.

Plans in BiH
http://www.jpautoceste.ba/web/images/karta%20fin-eng.jpg

^^Interesting! Some of those expressways will be connected to croatian expressways (and A1 motorway) :)
B2 to D1 (Sinj-Split)
B3 to expressway Imotski-A1-Baška Voda (Makarska)
There's also an expressway planned from Orašje/Županja (HR A3) to Vukovar

But there's no plan for a connection with Bihać :(

And what's the reason of having 2 different designations of motorways Žepče-Tuzla and Tuzla-Orašje? Isn't it one continuous motorway? :dunno:

^^thpse designation are not correctPlans in BiH

you mean plans of Federation BiH, without Republika Srpska.

Here you have the map of planned motorways' network of Republika Srpska:

Both maps are rather old!

And since EU will most likely add Adriatic-Ionian motorway via Dubrovnik to TEN (Trans-European Network), the "plan" of JP Autoceste FBiH is pointless

^^RS map is not old

Where is that?

Looks like Kakanj - Zenica section of A1, north of tunnel Vijenac.

EDIT: what is the progress with Sarajevo bypass? And when is planned the construction of both continuation of A1 bypassing Zenica and continuation toward Mostar?

This section (north of the tunnel Vijenac) should be finished by the end of the year or the first month of 2013. The viaduct section before the tunnel has its own challenge, foundations had to be made extremely deep because the whole location is an active land slide. But it will not go into service until 2014 when the tunnel is finished.
The southern section is now scheduled for 30.06 (1 month delay due to feb. blizzard) even though that seems to be optimistic.
These three sections have all had problems with inaccurate general projects.

Hello,
does anybody know details about the route between Zenica and Zepce? I heard a few years ago that they would make quite a few tunnels. Not so long ago I heard that the route has been changed because of difficulty with the mountains where the the tunnels should go. We are espescially interrested in the route between Nemila and Begov Han.
We would like to build a house near the river Bosna but if the new road...
thanks a lot!

Wait, no one noticed that there is a lack of a motorway link between BiH and Serbia.

^^are you serious?
