The Staro Selo leg connects around 4,000 households to a steady supply of gas through a 228 kilometres (km) long steel gas pipeline. It is the second phase of the 380 km gas pipeline network project in the municipality of Velika Plana, Srbijagas said in a statement published on its website on Tuesday.
The first phase of the project, which started in 2011, included the construction of 40 kilometre (km) long pipeline network. Now, the last phase is left with an additional 120 km to go, the statement noted.
The construction works, contracted to Smederevska Palanka-based DM Invest, are expected to be completed by mid-2013.
