BELGRADE, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) — Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the Fruska Gora Corridor construction site in the northern province of Vojvodina during his visit on Tuesday. The China Road and Bridge Corporation has been commended by Vucic for their commitment to the project. Accompanied by Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic, Vucic inspected the 3.48-km Iriski Venac tunnel.
Vucic highlighted the positive developments in Vojvodina province, emphasizing the increase in the construction of new kilometers of highways and expressways. He announced the inauguration of 167 kilometers of such roads in 2024 alone. The Fruska Gora Corridor is a 47.7 km route that connects Novi Sad, Serbia’s second-largest city, to Ruma, where it intersects with a newly completed expressway.
The project is managed by Koridori Srbije, a public enterprise in charge of road construction. It is expected that the Fruska Gora Corridor will significantly improve local and regional connectivity. According to Vucic, “this is one of the most significant projects that has been under construction in Serbia for decades.” The project started in December 2019 with the construction of the intersections of the Fruska Gora Corridor at Novi Sad and Ruma.
