Project description:
The Sremska Rača – Kuzmin section, with a total length of approximately 18 km including a bridge over the Sava River, constitutes part of the E-761 motorway construction project, Belgrade–Sarajevo. In addition, the construction of the Požega–Kotroman section, approximately 60 km long, is planned within the territory of the Republic of Serbia. A commercial contract with the company "Tašjapi" stipulates that 25 million euros will be allocated for the preparation of planning and technical documentation for this section.
The Sremska Rača – Kuzmin highway section is designed for a maximum allowed speed of 130 km/h and will have two carriageways and one emergency lane in both directions. It is planned that the future roadway will pass through the settlement of Kuzmin all the way to the existing border crossing at Sremska Rača, where a bridge approximately 1.3 km long will be constructed over the Sava River.
