The Belgrade Bypass Road Finally Completed

The section of Corridor 10, between Straževica Tunnel and Bubanj Potok Interchange, has been completed and opened for traffic on June 29th.

By opening this section, which is slightly less than 10 kilometers long, the so-called Belgrade Bypass Road has been completed - a major infrastructure project that lasted over three decades.

With the opening of the Belgrade Bypass Road, all transit traffic, which until yesterday passed through the city itself, will now be redirected to a road that will connect the two key interchanges of Corridor 10 - Belgrade and Bubanj Potok - with three lanes in each direction.

The total length of the bypass road is approximately 47 kilometers, and it takes around 25 minutes to travel its entire length, which should significantly reduce the time and costs for transit travelers passing through Belgrade.

Furthermore, a significant reduction in the load on the Gazela Bridge and the section of the highway passing through the city is expected, which should result in a general reduction of traffic congestion, as well as a decrease in the number of traffic accidents, noise, and harmful gas emissions in the city center.

The construction of the Belgrade Bypass Road marks the completion of one of the most complex transportation projects in the country, which took a full 33 years to complete.

However, the work on this project is not over yet, as the construction of a new section is expected in the coming years. This section will connect Bubanj Potok Interchange with Vinča, across the Danube, and ultimately link to Pančevo, completing the traffic ring around the Serbian capital.
