DELAYS are facing construction work on Serbia’s Corridor 10 highway project.

The country’s present administration has explained that the previous government left debts of €300 million and that many planned projects had been left uncompleted, with only the draft of the Serbian Urban Plan being finished.

The Dimitrovgrad Ring Road is opening to traffic but other links are delayed or well behind schedule.

Meanwhile a €170 million deal for construction of the Zemun-Borca Bridge has been signed with Chinese company CRBC.

The 1.5km bridge, scheduled for completion in 2013, will span the Danube River and link Belgrade's municipality Zemun and the Borca area. The project also includes 21km of access roads and 85% of the project is being funded with a loan from the 3422 Chinese Exim Bank.
