The reconstruction of the highway section Veles – Katlanovo has begun, in the length of 23.5 kilometers. With a grant from the IPA Regional Development component and funds from the state budget, in the next 12 months the reconstruction will be realized of one of the busiest roads in Macedonia. The financial structure of the project is 5.7 million EUR. The reconstruction of the highway will replace the asphalt along the entire length, new horizontal and vertical signalization will be placed, as well as new shoulders and protectors, and critical points where landslides used to appear will be covered with nets for protection against landslides.

Simultaneously with this construction project, with the financial support from NATO in the amount of 8.6 million EUR, the implementation is under way of the reconstruction of 13 bridges along the highway section Veles – Skopje.

Today’s ceremony launching the construction was attended by Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Zoran Stavreski, and Minister of Transport and Communications, Mile Janakieski.

The application for the state of tolls and border crossings PESR CAMERAS, made by economist Daniel Radevski from Tetovo, is free and is tailored for smart phones and tablets. This application contains a review of 23 video cameras at toll stations and border crossings, calculator of the distance between two destinations in Europe and reports on the state of roads across the state. It is available in Macedonian language, and versions will soon be developed in both English and Albanian.

Starting today, pamphlets are being distributed on border crossings with a map of toll stations and an overview of the toll prices. Through this pamphlet drivers receive information that the toll stations in Macedonia charge in MKD, EUR, or credit cards. For a simpler and more favorable payment of tolls, it is suggested to transfer the currencies into denars at the border crossings.
