Paving of Predejane tunnel begins – Works to be completed in March 2018

The paving in the Predejane tunnel, in the Grdelica Gorge on Corridor 10, is beginning and should be completed in March. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Construction Zorana Mihajlovic stated on January 24 that the remediation of the landslide near the tunnel had solved the construction problem in the most critical spot on the construction site.

Minister Mihajlovic and the director of the Corridors of Serbia, Zoran Babic visited the construction site, where the load-bearing wall on the slope collapsed in April 2017.

– This is not only the most difficult construction site in Serbia, but in this part of Europe as well – Mihajlovic emphasized and added that the remediation of the landslide had removed all the problems on the construction site.

Babic said that the works on the paving of the right-hand tunnel tube of Predejane would start during the upcoming weekend and that the expansion of the tunnel to accommodate damaged vehicles, would also start, following which the left-hand tube was to be paved.

He reminded that there were six sections in the gorge, as well as five contractors and two supervisory bodies. He also added that there was a competition of a kind to see who completes their part of the job first.

Babic believes that it is the Predejane tunnel that will be the first section to be completed, in March.

He reminded that the tunnel was around one kilometer long and that the value of the works was EUR 16 million.
