Well, lets provide a summary of the current situation when it comes to motorway construction in Serbia...
As far as on-going construction goes...currently, the biggest share of work is being carried out on the remaining sections of Corridor 10.
There are four main parts of it - the northern branch (Novi Sad - Horgos/HU border), Belgrade bypass, eastern branch Nis-Dimitrovgrad (BG border) and southern section Grabovnica-Levosoje (MK border).
During the past few weeks, a number of sections have been opened on the northern part of Corridor 10...another ~35km of Novi Sad-Horgos motorway remain to be opened by the first week of September plus the ~25km Subotica bypass by October.
Work is also currently being done on Belgrade's motorway ring road - specifically, on the 10km Batajnica-Dobanovci section as well as on the 6km Orlovaca-Avalski put section, along with a couple of tunnels & bridges along the path.
As for the south & east...on the road between Nis & border with Bulgaria, construction is at the moment concentrated along the easternmost part of this branch - with work being carried out on about ~22km of Pirot-Dimitrovgrad & Dimitrovgrad bypass sections.
Meanwhile, work is also ongoing on a short, ~8km section of the motorway towards Macedonia.
But motorway construction in Serbia is not confined solely to work on Corridor 10....a short 12km Ub-Lajkovac section of the future Belgrade-Bar motorway (aka Corridor 11) is also under construction as well as a 32km section from Vrbnica to Suva Reka in the southern province of Kosovo & Metohija, part of the future Nis-Pristina-Prizren- border with Abania motorway.
All in all, about ~150-160km of motorway are currently under construction in Serbia...optimistically, by late 2013 (realistically mid-2014), the country's motorway network should be about ~900km in length.
