The Podgorica Agency for Construction and Development will renovate several streets in the capital city during the year, while it will allocate 840.000 euros for the construction of a water supply network in the city's surroundings.
This, among other things, stems from the responses that "Vijesti" was recently provided by that city company.
This year, they said, they will build a new water supply network for users living in the suburban and rural areas of the capital.
"And that is: Malo Brdo, Smokovac, Gornja Vrbica, the Duške settlement in Lijeva Rijeka, the children's resort on Veruša... The preparation of project documentation is underway," said the Agency, which is managed by Bajko Vucicevic.
The company notes that "a large number of contracted works worth millions have not yet begun, and that the reason for this is mainly unresolved property and legal relations, "and the largest part relates to the municipal equipment of the locations."
They emphasize that they will soon announce a public call for the reconstruction of the first section of Miladin Popovića Street in the Podgorica neighborhood of Zabjelo.
"The main project for the reconstruction of Branka Ćopića Street in the underpass area on Zlatica is underway, which will also be reconstructed, or expanded, to enable traffic in both directions. In 2025, the construction of Veljko Vlahovića Boulevard was completed, and work on the boulevard is scheduled to continue in 2026, from Podgorica - Tuzi Boulevard to Josipa Slade Boulevard. The preparation of tender documentation has begun and a public call will be published soon," they announced.
They announce that they will be working on several larger, busy streets in Podgorica this year.
"We highlight Radovan Zogović Street, from Miloša Obilića Street to Veljko Vlahovića Boulevard, Branka Ćopića Street (next to the city cemetery). Work will also be done on Bokeška Street, from Slobode Street to Njegoševa Street (works contracted, will begin after the reconstruction of Slobode Street. In addition to them, work will be done on Spasa Nikolića Street (from Keša Đurovića Street to Sava Lubarde Street) in the Old Town, Rista Ratkovića Street (from the recently completed road to the roundabout on 21. maj Boulevard), Vučedolska Street... We also highlight Slobode Street, from Sveti Petar Cetinjski Boulevard to Hercegovačka Street, Vojislava Grujića Street at the Old Airport, Cara Lazara Street from Zmaj Jovina Street to Radovan Zogovića Street (next to the 'Pavle Rovinski' Elementary School)," they told "Vijesti".
They also said that renovation of other streets is planned for this year:
"Like the Street of Unknown Heroes at the Old Airport, Buta Lekića and Džan streets in Draču, then the second part of Spasa Nikolića streets (to the connection with Radoja Jovanovića Street) and Cara Lazara (from Radovan Zogovića Street to Aerodromska Street)."
Responding to the question of how the work on the section of Slobode Street is progressing, the Agency for Construction and Development said that "most of the work on underground installations has been completed."
"All that remains is to construct the manholes at the intersections with Bulevar Ivana Crnojevića and Hercegovačka Street. Work is underway to construct drains and install curbs."
The works, worth 788.477 euros, began last August and were supposed to last three and a half months.
However, they were not completed within the planned deadline, although the city administration had previously announced that the road would be completed by the end of last year, and then during this month.
The Agency told the editorial staff that the contractors, the companies "Geotin MNE" and "Asfalt-beton gradnja", "are trying to complete the work within the revised deadline."
"Despite the unfavorable weather conditions that have slowed down the pace of construction in the previous period, citizens can see for themselves that the works are underway, because there are workers and machinery at the construction site, and the planned construction works are being carried out continuously. If weather conditions permit, it is expected that the works will be completed within the scheduled time," they said.
