@ Autoputevi..

Don't worry my friend, you do not need to have a driver's license to take photos.

@Autoputevi

Don't you need to be at least 18 y.o. in order to have a driver's license?

In most countries you can get it when you are 16 yrs old

In Serbia at the age of 17 you can attend driving school and pass practical exam, but can't drive till you're 18.

Oh, OK, I didn't know that....seems really good though....in Greece you are allowed to attend driving school at the age of 18, not earlier.... :/

Newly constructed bridge (one of the many) on the new highway section Demir Kapija-Smokvica. The photo it's actually the cover from the newest issue of a magazine for architecture and construction.

Can't wait 2016 and summer vacation to test this motorway

 

[Skopje/Скопје]

The prime minister of Macedonia yesterday announced the construction of few express roads in Macedonia: Gradsko-Prilep, Shtip-Kochani, Ohrid-Peshtani, Shtip-Radovish and Rankovce-border with Bulgaria.

I've marked them on this map (lousy work, I know, but I don't have Photoshop and I had to use the online tool Pixlr). Anyway, here it is:

"Titov Veles" and the border with "Yugoslavia". That's quite an old map.

Yes today is only Veles.

This is the right map of the planed expressways.

I wondering is the Skopje ring road being used to full capacity, did the investment 'pay off'?

Also, when is the planned motorway section around Gevgelija planned to be built/completed?

Not the full capacity, unfortunately. Many vehicles still drive through Skopje instead using the rind road. I don't know why. But I hope that in near future those habits will change.

Also, when is the planned motorway section around Gevgelija planned to be built/completed?

If everything goes according the plan, in the summer of 2016.

Thanks Skopje/Скопје.

What is the toll for the ring road? How much traffic is there from Skopje to Tetovo and beyond, and from Skopje further eastward? Is this motorway to extend to Albania some day?

 

[Skopje/Скопје]

^^ There is no toll for the ring road.

The statistics are the following:

Kumanovo-Miladinovci 8146 vehicles per day

Miladinovci-Petrovec 6418

Petrovec-Veles 9213

Veles-Gradsko 5592

Gradsko-Negotino 3942

Demir Kapija-Udovo 4463

Smokvica-Gevgelija 4134

Gevgelija-greek border 7377

Skopje-Glumovo 9662

Glumovo-Tetovo 10632

Tetovo-Gostivar 12646

Gostivar-Kicevo 4634
