Serbia’s Corridor 10 project, seen as key to the country’s future economic development, is 20 years behind schedule.

With construction delayed and the matter being debated, the Serbian Ministry for Infrastructure, which reported the schedule delay, says the country is working as fast as possible, with 22km being built/year.

The corridor will connect the country with its neighbours and provide an important route for through traffic.

By contrast to Serbia, neighbouring Croatia has already built 1,100km amounting to 100km/year. The Serbian section from Horgos to Dimitrovgrad will be completed by the beginning of May 2012, while in six years, Serbia built a total of 137km of the Corridor 10 motorway.

Surfacing work is now underway on the new highway linking Horgos-Novi Sad and Subotica-Kelebija in Serbia (the work is ahead of schedule) and the southern part of the Corridor 10 is expected to be completed by the beginning
of 2011, while a new bridge being built by Beske is expected to be completed in early March 2011.

Construction of 110km of the Corridor 10 motorway will include a 28km section from Horgos to the Hungarian highway; a section at Horgos-Novi Sad and a 24km stretch between Kelebija and Subotica.

Work carried out so far in 2010 is worth some €950 million.
