Overview

In mid‑2026, major road‑building initiatives across the region reached significant milestones. Georgia opened the third segment of the Samtredia‑Grigori high‑speed highway, bringing the country's operational expressway length to 389 km and highlighting rapid development since 2012, with funding from the European Investment Bank and national ministries.

At the same time, the long‑running Gradiška–Zagreb–Belgrade corridor in the Western Balkans entered its final phase. The project, spanning two decades and financed jointly by Croatia and Bosnia‑Herzegovina, expected to finish the third segment—including the Sava River bridge—by September 2026, completing a faster, safer link between the two capitals.

Together, these updates show accelerated infrastructure investment in Eastern Europe, driven by national authorities and international financing, aimed at improving regional connectivity and economic growth.
