Opening of 32 km of new expressway from highway to Pozarevac and from Veliko Gradiste to Golubac to take place tomorrow

Tomorrow, 32 km of the new expressway from the highway to Pozarevac and from Veliko Gradiste to Golubac will be opened, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced on his Instagram account.

This is the Danube Corridor, which has been under construction in Serbia for years, and the dates for its opening have been postponed for several months. Let us remind that, when the construction of the Danube Corridor began, it was indicated that the first section of a total of three would be completed by the end of 2023, and the entire corridor by November 2024. During the summer of 2024, Prime Minister Milos Vucevic nevertheless announced a new deadline for the completion of this road - September 2025.

By the way, towards the end of last year, the state leadership also announced the opening of certain sections of this corridor to traffic, but at that time, news arrived that one of the overpasses on the Pozarevac-Veliko Gradiste-Golubac expressway had collapsed.

However, a few days later, the Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Veliko Gradiste confirmed that there had been no collapse or demolition of any building, bridge or overpass at the construction site of the Pozarevac-Veliko Gradiste-Golubac expressway section, in the town of Djurakovo-Popovac, as reported by the media.

The construction of this expressway, with a total length of about 67 kilometers, began in November 2021, and more than EUR 330 million will be invested. The contractor is the Chinese Shandong Hi Speed Group, and the subcontractors are from Serbia.
