BELGRADE (Serbia), September 3 (SeeNews) – Serbia plans to invest 150 million euro ($164.1 million) in the construction of a high-speed road that will link Kragujevac to the Moravski Corridor motorway, infrastructure minister Zorana Mihajlovic has said.
The construction of the high-speed road, which will be 35 km-long and will link Kragujevac to the Preljina-Kraljevo section of Morava Corridor, may start in the second half of 2020, Mihajlovic said in a press release on Monday.
Last week, Mihajlovic said she expects a consortium of US civil engineering group Bechtel and Turkey's Enka to start the construction of the Morava Corridor motorway later this month. The 112 km-long motorway will link European transport Corridors X and XI on Serbia's territory. It will feature four lanes 15 metres in width each, two emergency lanes 5 metres in width each, 84 bridges and 29 level crossings.
Corridor X will connect Salzburg in Austria to the Greek port of Thessaloniki, passing through Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and North 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.
