Good news, bad news.....bad news first:

All work has once again ceased on the site of Subotica bypass - the planned new link between Corridor 10 and Kelebija border crossing with Hungary has for now been mothballed by the new government, likely in favour of what they see as bigger priorities. There's some slim hope that financing will be found next year, allowing work to resume:












Meanwhile, financing has been secured and work will soon once again begin on Zrenjanin's bypass:

Deputy mayor of Zrenjanin Darko Karan said it has signed a protocol on the construction of the second phase of the ring road around Zrenjanin, worth 775 million dinars, which means that the money provided for the construction of the bypass.

As stated, the Protocol on 5 November on behalf of Zrenjanin Mayor Ivan Bosnjak signed on behalf of "Roads of Serbia" Zoran Drobnjak.

- The value of the protocol is 775 million, of which the town of Zrenjanin has pledged to invest 75 million in the project documentation and land expropriation. Government through the "Roads of Serbia" funded this work, and the start of work depends on sorting project documents - said Karan told reporters.

Deputy Mayor has stated that it is realistic to expect that, as previously planned and agreed, three new site will be opened at the beginning of the construction season, and the 15 April 2013th year.

Karan said that at the beginning of the construction season and will benefit many companies in Zrenjanin, because the construction of bypass local performers to be engaged, and that, as he said, to start building sector in the Banat.

25.10.2012

Citizens can expect to work on the construction of the bypass start April next year, when, and construction season begins, and the money, 654 million dinars, allowed the Ministry of Construction and Urbanization, said Deputy Mayor Darko Karan.

As stated, the purpose is to build the bypass works fragmented, and what's good points, is that the project documentation exists for the bridge and the overpass, so that in the course of next year, at the beginning of the construction season, the bypass could open three sites.




- First site would be from Mihajlovački road to Prvomajska street, second the bridge and third overpass. We plan to do this in parallel, because we know that the work on the bridge, because of the comprehensiveness, last two years - explained Karan, adding that the first part of the ring road from the roundabout towards Prvomajska street, could be the first to be completed as it is in this part remained six plots from three owners for expropriation, and that talks are already underway with provincial Secretariat for Urban Planning and building that for that part, and it is 2.2 km road to planning permission and the City Zrenajnin shall carry out all about building permits.

- The plan is to do in the course of November the entrance to the industrial zone Jugoistiok, which also concerns the bypass, and will be done by the end of this year, which could also be the official start of work on the ring road - said Karan noting that this solves the regular entrance to the industrial area the Southeast where are expecting the largest investors in the course of next year.

Karan, after the meeting with the Minister of Transport Milutin, which was attended by President of the Assembly of Zrenjanin Radovan Bulajic Zeljko Malušić, said he has been promised support in the realization of projects in Zrenjanin.

- Currently doing preparatory work on the construction of the walkway Bagljaš or pedestrian crossing over the line, because we want to protect our citizens. We managed to reach agreement paving several streets, one in Zrenjanin, and one in Čenta, Orlovat and Botoš.

Karan points out that in an interview with the Director of Roads of Serbia Zoran Drobnjak agreed that a local road, probably the way to Despotovac be funded from the Roads of Serbia, it will enter into their plan in 2013. year, and in early spring be paved with quality asphalt.

Bummer, I remember some people were fairly optimistic this could be opened in the summer of 2011... Construction already started in 2007 if I'm correct.

In Serbia there is a perpetual problem with financing and priorities. Financing seems to be related to which region has political favour from the central government at the time, and priorities change all the time. Instead of completing Corridor X in it's entirety, new projects are started (and stopped) and new announcements of new Corridors are made all the time in Eastern Serbia, Central Serbia, Central Vojvodina etc.

Serbia is a poor country and needs to concentrate on completing Corridor X, and then other areas which make economic sense. After all the point is not only building these motorways but maintaining them, and having the usage to justify building them in the first place. With the exception of Corridor X, and parts of so called Corridor XI, there is not much economic (and usage) justification for any other motorway in Serbia at this time.

Subotica Y is not Corridor X.

The road from Novi Sad to Loznica: Construction begins next year?

27th novembar 2012th | 18:24 | Source : RTV

NOVI SAD - Money from China for a tunnel through the mountain, it can not arrive soon, reports Radio Television of Vojvodina, but not because China is far away, but because we do not have a ready project documentation.

However, the first-category state road from Novi Sad and Ruma over to Sabac, Loznica, could begin to be built next year in Donji Srem, reports the TV.

Connecting the river Sava in Sabac and Belgrade-Zagreb highway near Ruma would mean a first-class infrastructure project for the two largest cities in Srem, whose industrial zone just adjacent to the intersection of important roads.

The road from Novi Sad and Ruma over to Sabac, Loznica, with a tunnel through the mountain, and the ring road around Irig, is projected to be four lanes.

I would move this highway to the west side of Ruma, so that it could also serve Sremska Mitrovica more directly. As well, the section from Ruma to Novi Sad is overlaping an existing regional highway, this seems redundant. This section should also be further west, some 5-10km near the villages of Jazak and Vrdnik, with a new bridge on the Danube east of Beočin near Rakovac, and then a link north-east to the E-75.

Construction is finally progressing nicely on the ~25km Kragujevac-Batocina expressway.

Little bit of news concerning Belgrade's motorway bypass - an additional 110 million dinars has been set side for land expropriation, while construction of second carriageway between Dobanovci and Ostruznica should finally begin with the next "construction season", in March 2013.

Currently, the only work being carried out on this crucial artery is centered on the Batajnica interchange:

This is an international forum! Please, from now on post your questions in English.

Basically, Yug-16 is asking:
1. When Pirot - BG border section would be ready.
2. If there are any newer updates.

My answers(correct me if wrong):
1. September 2013.
2. IMHO no, Serbians update their thread as soon as they have a new photoupdate.

[CrazySerb]

Good news, just in time for New Year's...it looks like Chinese firm Shandong High Speed Group will build two additional sections of crucial Corridor 11 or Belgrade-Bar motorway - they are Obrenovac-Ub and Lajkovac-Ljig. Some sort of agreement should be signed tomorrow

[Broccolli]

I have one question...what kind of a deal is this with this chinese firm?
Is it this kind of agreement that most of construction workers are from China and also head engineers? im asking because chinese firms were also interested to built our Slovenian railroad infrastructure couple of years ago in a such way that they want to provide all work force (about 20.000 chinese workers would have come from China).
