On June 5th, Directorate for Transportation of Montenegro and building company "Putevi" from Užice have signed 13.8m EUR worth of contract on construction of the final phase of bypass around Bijelo Polje.

The bypass 4 km long should be completed prior to July 13, 2009.

The CEO of the Directorate for Transportation, Vesko Grbović, explained that the construction of bypass was "complicated" work because it included "exceptionally problematic landslide 'Obrova'", about 300 m long, constuction of bridge, overpass and two viaducts".

The Executive Manager of Užice-based company "Putevi", Dragan Jaraković, said that the company would do its best to finish the bypass around Bijelo Polje on time and in the quality way.

The Mayor of Bijelo Polje, Tarzan Milošević, pointed out that the problem of the bypass had been in the focus of activities since 1984 and that its construction would give "contours of a modern city" to Bijelo Polje.

Construction of the bypass started three years ago.
