A new stretch of Serbia’s Morava Corridor Motorway is opening to traffic. The project is being carried out in a joint venture between Bechtel and ENKA, with Section 6 now opening. The motorway is one of Serbia’s largest infrastructure projects. and 71km of the route is now being used. The new stretch connects Kraljevo with Vrnjačka Banja.
“Each new kilometre of the Morava Corridor strengthens Serbia’s trade corridors and links more communities to opportunity,” said Mark Allison, Bechtel’s General Manager for Heavy Civil. “Bechtel is proud to be creating jobs, building skills, and delivering the flood-defence infrastructure that will support the region for decades.”
Stretching more than 112km, the Morava Corridor Motorway will transform central Serbia by linking key regions to Pan-European Corridors X and XI, improving transport efficiency and safety along the West Morava River valley. The project also delivers extensive river-regulation and flood-defence works to protect the motorway and nearby communities. About 36km of river regulation and 26km of dikes — including high embankments, scour protection, river diversions, and new riverbeds — will provide long-term resilience for the region.
When complete, the Morava Corridor will be Serbia’s first digital motorway, featuring smart-traffic systems supported by up to 1,000km of fibre optic cable. The corridor will include 79 bridges and 13 interchanges.
