• Introduction
• Project Overview
Introduction
• The first project in WBIF/IPF with regional component
• Project objective: reconstruction of the main road from Scepan Polje-
Pluzine
• M18 regional road – the shortest route from Albania, via Montenegro
and B&H to Central Europe via Corridor Vc
• E Route (E762) at SEETO Core Road Network
• The project component in B&H: reconstruction of the main road from
Foca to Hum
Project Overview
• The exiting conditions of the road:
• Road width is not in compliance with standards for this type of road;
• Tunnels are without lining;
• Road sections with speed limits below 30 km/h;
• Road is not in accordance with EU requirements related to road
safety;
• The road is closed for traffic during the winter;
• The road is closed for traffic for heavy trucks.
Project Overview
• The project objective was preparation of the Feasibility study with
CBA and Preliminary Design in accordance with national legislative
• The main road from Scepan Polje to Pluzine has two sections:
• First section is 2,5 km alignment from border crossing bridge on Tara
River to Paklice (Conceptual design)
• Second section is 22.5 km alignment from Paklice to Pluzine
(Preliminary Design)
Section from bridge on Tara river to Paklice
• Bridge on Tara River is one
line bridge with no
satisfaction of safety
requirements.
• Based on multi criteria
analyses, it is proposed to
construct new, 184 m long
bridge
• Interstate committee to
decide
Section from bridge on Tara river to Paklice
• Section from new bridge to Paklice will require design of new
alignment
• New alignment to be designed after new bridge location is agreed
between two countries
• Conceptual design prepared
Section from Paklice to Pluzine
• 22.5 km
• No safety requirements
• Speed limits 30 km/h
• 56 tunnels in total, not in accordance with EU standards
• Project objective: Preliminary Design (in accordance with national

Section from Paklice to Pluzine
Reconstruction of the section -Preliminary Design
Reconstruction of the alignment
Reconstruction of tunnels Reconstruction of the

• Reconstruction of the existing alignment in order to improve road
safety
• Sanitation of tunnels in order to meet safety requirements
• Reconstruction of existing structures
• Sections with speed limits 40 km/h
Section from Paklice to Pluzine
• Alternative 2
• Provision of high quality service through development of new sections
• High road safety standards
• Protection of rock falls and snowfalls
• Design of new tunnels in order to avoid risky sections and safety
requirements
• Speed limit 70 km/h (even in tunnels)
