Regional Road Connection to the Bulgarian Border – Key to Economic Development and Better Living Standard

The A4 national road running from Strumica to the Bulgarian border holds strategic importance for Southeastern Macedonia, because it is a vital corridor for economic and traffic flow between our country and its eastern neighbor. This route plays a crucial role in developing the local economy, expanding tourism potential, and creating new business opportunities.

Recognizing its importance, the Public Enterprise for State Roads (PESR) has allocated 30 million denars in 2025 for the rehabilitation of the most damaged segments of the A4 national road. These funds have been used to upgrade three sections along the route.

The rehabilitation covered parts near the Robovska intersection, the stretch from Sekirnik village to Sushica village, and the road running through Novo Selo, spanning approximately 2 kilometers with a variable carriageway width of around 6.5 meters. In total, 10,500 square meters of asphalt surface were renewed, involving complete removal of old, damaged layers and installation of 2,000 tons of new asphalt.

The contractor for the works is the Public Enterprise for Maintenance and Protection of Main and Regional Roads (PE Makedonijapat).

 

The rehabilitation of these sections—near the Robovska intersection, from Sekirnik to Sushica, and through Novo Selo—will ensure faster, easier, and safer travel for all passengers and drivers. The upgraded infrastructure will enhance safety, reduce travel time, and improve traffic comfort, positively impacting not only the local population but also businesses relying on this road corridor.
