The railway that was first designed almost a century ago looks likely to finally be completed. Austrian companies are ready to take part in the finalization of the Valjevo-Loznica railway construction, Ministry of Infrastructure and the Serbian Railways have confirmed during their recent meetings with the heads of Austria's Transportation Ministry. Valjevo-Loznica railway: End of construction in sight? By finishing the construction of this railway, which under current designs started in the early 1990's, western Serbia would join international railway system and establish the shortest link between the Belgrade-Valjevo and Ruma- Sabac-Zvornik lines. It would also represent an integral part of the southern Sava route that stretches through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia. The traffic institute CIP estimates that the 68-kilometer stretch will cost in excess of EUR 200mn. It is designed for speeds of up to 200 kmph. The line will have 20 tunnels and 69 bridges. The construction on the railway started three times, always interrupted by wars: first, just ahead of the First World War, for the second time, coinciding with the bloody demise of the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990's. "The war railway", as it is known locally, was last started and abandoned just ahead of the 1999 NATO bombing campaign.
