Two stretches of Serbia’s important Danubian Corridor are opening for drivers. These two highway stretches are both located close to Pozarevac.

The Danubian Corridor will measure 68km in length when complete, with 32km now open to drivers. One of the stretches measures 11km and links the Veliko Gradiste bypass with Ponikve. The other stretch measures 21km and runs from the bridge spanning the Jezeva River to the end of the Danubian Corridor.

The contractor for the project is the Chinese firm, Shandong Hi-Speed Group. Total cost for the project is estimated at €1.6 billion.
