The construction project of the boulevard from Tivat to Jaz envisages the construction of trapezoidal concrete channels along the entire length of the first section, which should partly solve the problem of flooding that plagues the people of Tivat.

And illegal and excessive legal construction, irresponsibility of investors, as well as blocked water drainage channels, caused yesterday's problems.

Today was a completely ordinary day in Tivat and a standard traffic jam... And yesterday was a cataclysm, say the people of Tivat, who fought their way through the floods...

The biggest problem was near the INA pump and under the new Kava settlement, where many buildings and houses were built in the transitional years...

Tivat has a problem with water in three places, i.e. near the gas station, then along the Airport and the route of the new boulevard and between two roundabouts, Kotor and Solil...

All eyes are on the builders of the new boulevard Tivat - Jaz. The Traffic Administration says that the problem with the flooding of the highway and the airport runway has been going on for decades. The existing canals, which had the role of accepting water from the Vrmac and draining it into the sea, were mostly devastated, and their permeability was reduced.

In May, the Traffic Administration made a report on this, in which a number of omissions were noted...

The issue of canals that are outside the road belt is of great importance for the safety of the boulevard, so the Traffic Administration signed a contract for the development of a project to adapt the existing canals on the north side, however, they say that they are not responsible for their cleaning.
