Section of ring road from Strazevica to Bubanj Potok open to traffic from tomorrow

Belgrade, 28 June 2023

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and President of the Republic Aleksandar Vucic attended tonight the opening ceremony of the last section of the ring road around Belgrade, from the Strazevica tunnel to the Bubanj Potok interchange.

Vucic had previously taken a bus ride with representatives of the media, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Sinisa Mali, Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic, Mayor of Belgrade Aleksandar Sapic, Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Chen Bo, representatives of Roads of Serbia, Corridor of Serbia and contractors on the mentioned section, the length of which is 9.74 km.

The President of the Republic emphasised that this will be the most important road, which will contribute to the relocation of trucks from the city centre, adding that the mentioned section from Strazevica to Bubanj Potok will be open for traffic tomorrow at 9 am.

Vucic emphasised that the section of the motorway from Cacak to Kraljevo will be completed next year, adding that the underground is also being built in Belgrade, whereby the first line will be completed in 2028, and the second by 2030 at the latest.

According to him, hundreds of kilometres of roads have been built, and Finance Minister Sinisa Mali and Prime Minister Ana Brnabic have done everything to ensure full fiscal stability.

After more than 30 years of construction, from Batajnica to Bubanj Potok it will be possible to reach the motorway in full profile, that is, with a total of six traffic lanes, in a length of 47 km.

The works were performed by the Chinese company "Power China", the Azerbaijani "Azvirt" and domestic subcontractors.

The project was financed 15 percent from the Serbian budget, and the remaining 85 percent from a loan from the Chinese Exim Bank.

With the completion of this project, traffic is redirected from the overloaded basic network of city roads to the bypass, which contributes to shortening the travel time for transit flows, reducing the number of traffic accidents, the costs of vehicle exploitation, harmful gases and noise from vehicles in the inner city area.
