The tender for the selection of a contractor for the reconstruction of the road from the bridge on the Pažanjski potok to the bridge on the Tara River in Kolašin should be announced in the next few weeks.
This road, which leads from the end of the road from Mateševo to the city, is a so-called bottleneck and a perennial problem, which became especially pronounced after the opening of the highway.
However, only recently have the first procedural steps been taken to begin reconstruction, based on the "design and build" principle.
As the Vice President of the Municipality, Vasilije Ivanović, told "Vijesti", the works will cost around 2,5 million euros.
"This is a street with a length of about 1,1 km and is part of the Sports Zone DUP. We expect the tender to be announced in the coming weeks. The street is planned to be reconstructed along its entire length, including, of course, the construction of sidewalks, lighting, retaining walls... After the work is completed, we will have a modern road that will solve one of the biggest traffic problems in Kolašin. The reconstruction of the road will significantly contribute to greater traffic safety, as well as reducing congestion caused by the opening of the highway," he said.
At the next session of the Municipal Assembly, the councilors will also be presented with a proposal for a decision on determining the public interest in expropriating real estate for reconstruction purposes. These are parts of dozens of private plots within the cadastral municipalities of Kolašin and Vladoš.
Ivanovic points out that, in addition to technical improvements, the development of this section of the road would also have symbolic weight, as it shows that infrastructure development does not end with the exit from the highway, but must continue to local centers and tourist zones.
He claims that for Kolašin, as a tourist center, quality access roads built to high standards are a basic need.
In order to solve the biggest traffic problems, the local government recently took the initial procedural steps for the construction of a city garage. Seven plots of land, totaling 2.333 square meters, will be expropriated for the facility, which will cost 611.000 euros.
The plots that the Municipality intends to purchase are located on General Anđelić Street.
As the appraiser wrote, “the location is located in a zone of high density development, dominated by collective housing facilities.” It is about 300 meters from the city center, and in the immediate vicinity are the Kolašin schools and kindergarten.
For now, the Municipality has not mentioned when the reconstruction of the road from the city to the Klisura tunnel, on the regional road from Jezerin to Lubnice, could begin. The condition of that road represents a major problem for all those going to or from the highway towards the tunnel...
