Location
Description
The project concerns the construction of two motorway sections on Corridor Vc :
- Vlakovo - Tarcin, South of Sarajevo, in a length of 19 km
- Svilaj - Odzak, in a length of 9 km, at the Northern border with Croatia, including a bridge across the Sava river, the border between BiH and Croatia
Objectives
The project will significantly increase accessibility and reduce travel times, thereby contributing to a balanced economic development of the regions concerned. Current average speeds on existing road are estimated at some 50 km/h and these should rise to 120 km/h with the new infrastructure. Commuting among main cities and towns along the corridor will be much faster and more comfortable.
