Contract on construction of Fruska Gora corridor signed

Belgrade, 6 October 2020

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Zorana Mihajlovic signed today with the Chinese company CRBC a commercial contract on the design and execution of works on the construction of a Novi Sad-Ruma fast road.

The contract on the construction of the Fruska Gora Corridor, worth €660 million, was signed in the presence of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Chen Bo.

Mihajlovic stated that with the construction of this corridor and the Ruma-Sabac-Loznica project, which is already being implemented, we will have a road that will connect Vojvodina with western Serbia and underlined that this is important for the regional connection of Serbia.

The total length of the Novi Sad-Ruma road is 47.7 kilometres, including a new bridge over the Danube and a 3.5 kilometre long Iriski Venac tunnel through Fruska Gora.

The Novi Sad-Ruma road will connect three municipalities: Novi Sad, Irig and Ruma. It is connected to the existing state road of the IB category number 12 Novi Sad-Zrenjanin-border with Romania, and finally to the motorway and the Ruma-Sabac-Loznica fast road which is under construction.

In that way, the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina will be connected with the western and north-western part of Serbia and important regional centres such as Novi Sad, Ruma, Sabac, Loznica. It also represents Serbia's indirect link with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Romania.
