Motorway openings around the world

Verso · December 1st, 2011, 02:07 AM

Let's post every motorway/freeway- and expressway opening that happens in the world in this thread. But keep it simple, just basic information, no pictures please (you can see them in their respective threads).

So, yesterday (UTC) they opened the Polish A2 motorway between Nowy Tomyśl and the German border, as well as a motorway in Bosnia and Herzegovina/Republic of Srpska between Banja Luka and the Croatian border. Some maps would be appreciated.

ChrisZwolle, I think we already had a similar tyread to this prompting members to post historic pictures of their motorways.

g.spinoza · December 1st, 2011, 09:24 PM

Posting historic pictures of old motorways and opening dates of very recent ones does not seem very similar to me.
