It took 30 years but the ring road around Belgrade is finally open for traffic!

The opening of the section will also be attended by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vui.

After more than 30 years of construction, the Ni-Batajnica connection via Bubanj Potok, with a total of six traffic lanes, and a length of 47 kilometers will be open today.
President Vui will attend the opening ceremony of the ring road at 7 p.m., the Presidency announced.
The completion of the bypass around Belgrade will redirect traffic from the heavily congested main road network, which will contribute to less transit travel time, and positively affect safety on roads, reduce the costs of vehicle exploitation, minimize pollution in the city area, PUC Putevi Srbije reported.
The bypass around Belgrade connects the branch of Corridor 10b, E-75 (border with Hungary, Horgo - Novi Sad - Belgrade) with Corridor 10, E-70 (border with Croatia, Batrovci - Belgrade), 1B state road number 26 and Route 4, E-763 "Milo Veliki" (Belgrade - Poega - border with Montenegro Boljare) and part of Corridor 10, E-75 (Belgrade - Ni - Preevo - border with Macedonia).
Although the ring road is now connected to Corridor 10 near Bubanj Potok by highway, additional sections will soon be built. Section C from Bubanj Potok and Vina, across the Danube, to Panevo, in a length of 31 kilometers, to continue the traffic flow on the road ring.
Plans include the construction of a combined road-railway bridge over the Danube, between the right bank of Vina settlement and the left bank of Starevo settlement, and the continuation of the Beli Potok-Panevo railway in a length of 29 kilometers.
This stretch of the road will soon see the construction of two tunnels, Bubanj Potok and Letane, and another large profile road-railway bridge near Vina.
Until now, vehicles...
