August 7 (SeeNews) - Serbia's infrastructure ministry has invited bids in a tender for the construction of the Morava Corridor motorway that will link European transport Corridors X and XI on the country's territory, it said.
The winner will be required to complete the technical documentation of the project and execute the construction of the motorway 112.3 km in length, the infrastructure ministry said in a notice earlier this week.
The deadline for submitting bids in the tender is August 26 and the offers will be opened on August 27.
The motorway will feature four lanes 15 metres in width each, two emergency lanes 5 metres in width each, 84 bridges and 29 level crossings.
Serbia plans to invest 800 million euro ($895 million) in the construction of the motorway, infrastructure minister Zorana Mihajlovic said in May.
Corridor X will connect Salzburg in Austria to the Greek port of Thessaloniki, passing through Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia. Corridor XI is a ferry/motorway corridor linking Italy's Bari to Romania's Bucharest via Montenegro's Bar port and Serbia's Belgrade.
