Research suggests that tourists visiting Kotor mostly complain about traffic jams and the issue might be solved already next year if only the local government opted for the construction of an underground passage on the riva (for transferring passengers from cruise ships to the Old Town), better pedestrian traffic management and parking of cars and buses, President of the Municipality of Kotor, Mr Željko Aprcović, clarified for Radio Kotor.
“Construction of an underground tunnel and better pedestrian traffic management will significantly contribute to smooth traffic flow next year,” he emphasized.
Concerning the construction of a boulevard through Grbalj towards Budva, he said that he had a meeting with the representatives of the Transport Administration and both sides noted the project would be an added-value for the overall traffic flow from Verige to Lastva Grbaljska.
“The value of the investment amounts to 35,000,000 euro. Along with a certain investment in the water supply infrastructure towards Herceg Novi, costs will rise to 50,000,000 euro,” Mr Aprcović indicated.
When asked why no one is mentioning the construction of an overpass in Kotor anymore, he said “it is unrealistic to expect him to tell something more about the topic.”
