Th e Surčin-Obrenovac Highway will enable connecting Corridor X and Corridor XI via the Belgrade Bypass at Surčin interchange, with the sections under construction (Obrenovac - Ub and Lajkovac - Ljig, with the total lenght of 50. 2 km) and already fi nished sections (Ub - Lajk- ovac - 12. 5 km and Ljig - Preljina - 40. 3 km), thus completing the full profi le highway from Belgrade to Preljina, with 120 km length. Th e travel between Belgrade and Preljina will be- come much more comfortable, with the Ibar motorway being bypassed and the travel time being shortened from 3 hours to one hour and fi ft een minutes.

Stating that the maintenance of roads is arranged per priorities from I to III, Ibrović said that the understanding of this segment is very important for the citizens and the media re- porting about the conditions on roads, because, during the winter, the road does not have to be cleared to the “black asphalt” as it is colloquial- ly said, because the maintenance is based on the defi ned priorities. Depending on weather conditions and weather forecast, the organisation of activities is arranged per degrees of readiness, from home readiness to the fourth degree readiness, with 100% of the mechanisation and personnel be- ing engaged at the point.

Electric vehicle charging stations on Serbian roads Within the project of the modernisation of roads in Serbia, so far, fi ve electric vehicle charging stations have been installed at key points on highways: In the zone of the former toll station Belgrade near Bubanj Potok (direction toward Niš), and in the zones of toll stations Preševo (direction toward Niš), Šid (direction toward Belgrade) and Subotica (direction toward Novi Sad), while the charging station in the zone of the Dimitrovgrad toll station(direction toward Niš) will start to operate upon the commissioning of the toll station. Th e installed chargers represent the most modern solution for charging vehicles among all global brands. Th ey possess three ports - two for fast DC charging and one for fast AC charging. eTh charging is remotely controlled, including the monitoring of the very charger, as well as that of the statistics of vehicles charged (time and duration of charging, kW amount etc.).

Online on Highway Free wireless internet, besides the Bubanj Potok location, has so far been enabled at fi ve rest areas: Jerina, Šimanovci 1, Šimanovci 2, Fe- ketić 1 and Feketić 2. Within the continuation of the modern- isation of roads in the Republic of Serbia, it is planned to introduce free wireless internet along the Corridor X through Serbia and to arrange all key rest areas on the highway, which includes the provision of power supply, lighting and free internet, placing of mobile equipment for rest - benches, tables and installations of appliances for charging the electric vehicles. 9 “We keep our promises”, President Vučić pointed out

Th e works on the construction of the sec- ond bridge over the Sava River near Ostružnica are largely under way and the “twin” bridge re- ceives the shape and form of its “older brother”. So far, the elements of the lower part of the access concrete constructions have been fi n- ished, while the construction of the upper part is under way. Th e steel construction of the bridge over Sava is made in the factory facilities locat- ed out of the construction site. Certain fi nished mounting segments have been delivered to the construction site, where pre-mounting is being carried out.
