Greek company Terna will finish the construction of two tunnels near Dimitrovgrad on Corridor X by the year's end, Terna Executive Vice President Statis Natsis announced.

- Construction of tunnels (Progon and Przojno Padina) is progressing very well, and they will be opened to traffic by the year's end - Natsis told Tanjug news agency and added that both tunnels had been completely drilled the previous month.

Terna has agreed to build two tunnels on the bypass around Dimitrovgrad for RSD 3.83 million. The work is financed with the proceeds of a loan extended by the World Bank.

The Progon tunnel is somewhat over one kilometer long, whereas the length of Przojno Padina is about 350 meters.

Terna is also hired to build Corridor X stretches from Grabovnica to Grdelica and from Vladicin Han to Donji Neradovac.

Natsis said that Terna in Serbia had hired 400-500 Serbian workers and about hundred from Greece, adding that the company was satisfied with its ongoing work in our country.
