A tender is being prepared for the second part of the Skopje - Blace highway, the existing road will be renovated
A tender for the selection of a contractor for the second section of the Skopje-Blace highway is coming up, and relevant minister Blagoj Bochvarski expects field activities next year if the tender procedure is successful. Work is underway on the first part of the highway, and for the existing Skopje-Blace road, a contractor has been selected for reconstruction due to its poor condition.
- Regarding the Blace highway, I already informed that the first section is already under construction, for the second section the first procedures are already completed and we expect the tender procedure to be announced in the next period. There, the amount of the project value is somewhere over 190 million euros. It is a big serious investment on quite difficult terrain and I expect that during the next year, if the procedure for selecting a contractor is successful, we will already have activities on the second section, and we will also expect the completion of the first section, which will make them more than 12 kilometers to Obikolnica Skopje will undergo a complete reorganization of the field. We have already selected a contractor for the rehabilitation of the existing road Skopje - Blace, which is in a worse condition, said Bochvarski, to a journalist's question during the visit to Probishtip.
The goal of the activities, as he indicated, is to bring the road infrastructure to the level that the citizens deserve.
- Those steps that were lost in the past, today we are returning them step by step even in the biggest crisis. And not only with this road direction, but also with the road direction of Corridor 10D from Gradsko to Drenovo – Farish, Farishka Klisura, Pletvar and all other road routes in order to improve the image of the infrastructure, said Bochvarski.
He announced that the expropriation procedure for the second section of the Shtip-Kochani expressway, which took a lot of time, was completed today. - This expressway is over 92 percent progress and our expectations are that in December we will be able to put it into traffic under a temporary regime, all the construction works are being done there, the citizens can see that, said Bochvarski.
