14.3 km of Morava Corridor from Vrnjacka Banja to Vrba to be opened in a few days

A 14.3-kilometer section of the Morava Corridor from Vrnjacka Banja to Vrba will be opened in a few days, announced President Aleksandar Vucic on his Instagram account.

The route from Vrnjacka Banja to Vrba is one of the subsections of the Morava Corridor, a highway with a total length of about 110 km.

When this corridor is finally completed, it will connect several towns with about 500,000 inhabitants, namely Kraljevo, Krusevac, Vrnjacka Banja and Trstenik.

The Morava Corridor, when construction is completed, will connect the Rasina, Raska and Moravica districts with corridors 10 and 11, namely the Milos Veliki and Belgrade-Nis highways.

This corridor consists of three sections - Pojate-Krusevac (27.83 km), Krusevac-Adrani (53.88 km) and Adrani-Mrcajevci-Preljina (30.66 km). The construction of the corridor began at the end of 2019 and is being carried out by the Turkish-American consortium Bechtel Enka. The road is designed for speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour and, as announced, will be the first digital and widest highway in Serbia.

Let us remind that, as we wrote last month, the state has borrowed an additional EUR 260 million for the construction of this corridor. Specifically, this is a Credit Arrangement Agreement relating to a loan with a guarantee from the British agency UKEF.
