Horgoš-Bikovo stretch of Corridor 10 complete

A 28-kilometer stretch of Corridor 10 through Serbia, from Horgos to Bikovo, opened for traffic on Friday, the Koridori Srbije (Corridors of Serbia) announced. This section is part of the 88-kilometer leg from Horgos to Novi Sad, which should be completed by the end of August. Horgos-Bikovo stretch of Corridor 10 complete Sanja Stavric of Koridori Srbije reminded the entire Horgos-Novi Sad section was due to be finished by July 20, but that the deadline was extended after unforeseen complications delayed works on the north leg of Corridor 10. Stavric pointed out unusually heavy rains last summer, the need to move international power lines and recent farmers' protests all slowed down works. The cost of the highway from Horgos to Novi Sad, not counting two 10-kilometer stretches near Subotica and Novi Sad which were completed earlier, is around RSD 10bn (some EUR 98mn). The money was set aside from the state budget, and works started in May last year.
