Bar-Boljare: Intensive works on entire priority section by end of June

The Ministry of Transport has sought a construction permit for Subsection 1.1.1 of the priority section of the Bar-Boljare highway. On this section, the Suka tunnel is to be constructed along with its associated open highway segment, Dnevne Novine newspaper writes.

In addition, a design and build contract has been signed with China Road and Bridge Corporation, the contractor for the Smokovac-Uvac-Matesevo priority section, based on the FIDIC Yellow Book.

“From the beginning of the works until November 2016 when the new government was formed, five building permits were issued. Additional seven permits have been issued since then. Requests for issuing another three permits have been submitted,” the ministry said, adding that requests for the remaining four permits are expected to be submitted soon.

The ministry expects all remaining permits to be issued by the end of June.

The Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs has requested building permits for Subsection 4.1 of the Bar-Boljare highway priority section. There will be six bridges constructed on the subsection: Uvac1, UIvac2, Uvac3, Uvac4, Pajkov Vir and Cestzogaz, Dnevne Novine reports.

Upon obtaining the permits CRBC will also begin construction of the Vitanovica, Zecka, and Pajkov Vir tunnels. In addition to the bridges and tunnels, an open segment of the highway will also be constructed.

Last week the ministry sought permit for Subsection 4.4.1.

On this section, the Tara 1 and Tara 2 tunnels as well as the Matesevo tunnel and the Matesevo highway loop will be built along with the associated open segment.

After all the permits are issued, a higher level of intensity will begin considering that every segment of the priority section will then be under construction.

According to DN, after all the permits are issued, more workers will be hired on the priority section. They will be working in three shifts in order for the project to be completed as planned – on 11 May 2019.
