SECOND SKOPJE BYPASS HIGHWAY TO BE
PUT INTO OPERATION
The second Skopje bypass highway from Orizari to Saraj section at length of
11,8 kilometres will be put into operation Thursday.
PM Nikola Gruevski will attend the opening ceremony, his Cabinet told.
Entire length of the highway is 26,5 km with two lines, which passes under
south slopes of Skopska Crna Gora and villages of Stajkovci, Smilkovcki,
Brnjanci and Kuceviska Bara.
The complete bypass starts at the "Hipodrom" loop where it branches off from
the Veles-Skopje highway, and its northern section ends near Orizari.
This western half starts North of Suto Orizari. Leading westwards, the route
passes the Konjski Rid hill lying to the South and continues West crossing
the Stenkovec loop (junction to Pristina), followed by the Lepenec River.
Here, the road bends slightly northwards, running through the agricultural
region of Gornopal, where it eventually curves to the South, passing the
residential area of Vucidol. The route continues southwards winding through
a hilly landscape. At Kondovo, it connects to the Skopje-Tetovo Highway.
The designed bypass will be a four-lane highway with a maximum vehicle speed
of 120 km/h. The Skopje Bypass is part of Corridor VIII.
The Fund for National and Regional Roads of Macedonia (FNRR) is the investor
of this project and is financed by European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD), which granted a loan to Macedonia with 7-year grace
period and 18 years repayment period. The value of the entire bypass is Euro
135 million. |
