Belgrade infrastructure projects trigger traffic changes and metro work delays

Major infrastructure projects in Belgrade are causing significant changes to local traffic patterns. Starting Monday, August 24, Jovana Mikića Street will face a total traffic suspension due to the second phase of construction for a surface roundabout at the intersection of Majšanski put, Jovana Cvijića, and Jovana Mikića. This closure is expected to last until November 7, with vehicles being rerouted through local street networks including 51. divizije, Partizanskih baza, and Kireška.

Regarding the Belgrade metro project, City Manager Miroslav Čučković announced that Despota Stefana Boulevard will not be closed during August. The anticipated traffic suspension related to metro works is now expected to be delayed until after the spring. The delay was caused by the discovery of unrecorded underground installations, which required new project planning.

Work will be reorganized to focus on the side wall of the future metro entrance and tunnel excavation preparation to avoid interfering with the heating season. Future metro construction will involve significant changes to the city center, including work near Staklenci and the expansion of Dunavska Street to accommodate the relocation of the Bajlonijeva market during the construction of the Skadarlija station.
