Balkan region faces traffic delays due to roadworks and seasonal travel
Major roadworks and seasonal traffic increases are causing significant disruptions across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, traffic is being diverted or slowed due to extensive construction on various highways and regional roads, including the A-1 motorway and sections near Jajce and Sarajevo. A recent accident in Ustiprača has also caused road closures.
Montenegro is experiencing increased vehicle frequency as the summer season concludes. Significant works are underway on the Đurđevića Tara bridge and several regional roads, leading to temporary closures and alternating traffic flow. Authorities advise drivers to avoid traveling during peak heat hours.
In Serbia, Putevi Srbije has warned of rising traffic volumes due to the end of the summer holiday period. Increased numbers of vehicles with foreign registration are expected, particularly on major highways, prompting calls for increased driver caution and frequent rest stops.
