The Public Enterprise for State Roads has recently focused on the interchanges around the capital where significant damage had occurred.
Thus, through the Public Enterprise for the Maintenance and Protection of Main and Regional Roads, i.e., Makedonijapat, repairs were carried out on the damaged road surface at the interchange near hotel Bellevue and the Hipodrom interchange.
Specifically, due to the excessive damage to the carriageway during the past period, temporary emergency repairs were performed because the safety of traffic participants was at risk due to the extensive damage. With these repairs, we restored traffic safety. The large potholes no longer pose a danger, and this repair gives us the time and space to focus on the rehabilitation project for the interchange, for which an order has already been issued. This project will ensure a permanent rehabilitation and repair of the entire Skopje bypass road, including all entry and exit ramps.
This morning, the Director of the Public Enterprise for State Roads, Koce Trajanovski, together with the Mayor of the Municipality of Ilinden, Aleksandar Gjorgjievski, and in presence of the Deputy Director of PE Makedonijapat, Aleksandar Shukovski and the Head of the Department for Support of Director’s Operations Lulzim Shaqiri, inspected the works on repairing the damages completed in the past period.
“The repairs were carried out at the request of the Public Enterprise for State Roads and executed by the Public Enterprise for the Maintenance and Protection of Main and Regional Roads, i.e. Makedonijapat. The most severely damaged sections of the interchanges near hotel Bellevue and Hipodrom were addressed. At the Bellevue interchange, the exit ramp from Skopje to Ilinden and the ramp from Bellevue toward Skopje were repaired. At the Hipodrom interchange, works included resurfacing the interchange road, the entry ramp to the bypass from the Miladinovci side, and the exit ramp from the bypass toward Kumanovo. In total, 21,000 square meters were repaired, and 4,500 tons of asphalt were laid. The project, valued at 57 million denars, was financed through the program of the Public Enterprise for State Roads. I would like to thank the Municipality of Ilinden for their constructive cooperation, as well as PE Makedonijapat for completing the repairs. We will continue with performing temporary emergency repairs wherever necessary,” said Koce Trajanovski, Director of the Public Enterprise for State Roads.
