Construction of highway began two years ago

1105 - 1

The construction of the Bar-Boljare highway priority section officially began on this day in 2015. A lot has been done in the last 24 months and photos from the field are the best proof that Montenegro will have ready its first section from Smokovac to Matesevo by 11 May 2019, Dnevne Novine writes.

Works being carried out daily on the section also refute critics from political parties and the public who claimed that the highway project was mere ink on paper.

For the time being, the Ministry of Transport issued 10 building permits, issuing procedure of one permit is ongoing, whereas requests for additional two licenses will be submitted by the end of the week.

The intensive works on the basis of the permits issued have been performed at 28km of the 41km long section.

Works are underway on 8 of 16 tunnels planned on the priority section: Mrke, Klopot, Vilac, Vjeternik, Kosman, Mala Trava, Preslo and Jabucki Krs where the total length of the excavation is over 5.5km, ie 15.7% of the total length of the tunnels in the section or 24% of the total length of the tunnels the excavation has started on.

Beginning of the works on the Vezesnik and Mrki Krs tunnels is expected soon.

In addition to the works on tunnels, there are intensive works on the open segments of the section: the Pelev Brijeg loop and bridges Gornje Mrke, Moracica, Jabuka and Preslo. Today, three pillars reaching over 60 metres in height can be clearly seen at the Moracica bridge.

The Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs, as the investor, has issued 65 prior approvals for hiring subcontractors so far. They include 86 companies, 73 of which are Montenegrin companies.

The total value of the signed contracts with subcontractors is 33.21% of the total value of the contract. With respect to subcontractors, 29.46% of contracts have been signed with subcontractors falling under the terms of the highway agreement which calls for a minimum of 30% engagement of domestic firms.

This means that almost €250m in services is remaining within the country which will give added impulse to business currents in Montenegro.
