On 5 August 2026, the Mehov Krš bridge on Serbia’s IB22 road at the Montenegro border was fully closed for two hours while the final layer of asphalt was applied, with police directing traffic to the nearby Godovo‑Vuča crossing.

The next day, 6 August 2026, the bridge was again closed from 08:00 to 10:00 for the same resurfacing work by Novi Pazar‑Put, with Serbian police diverting vehicles to the Godovo‑Vuča crossing and Montenegrin police to the Vuča‑Godovo crossing.

The following day, Serbian authorities announced a broader reconstruction effort for aging bridges, unveiling a detailed plan to rebuild the Jasički bridge in Kruševac to accommodate increased traffic from the new Moravski corridor, and addressing safety concerns after a semi‑trailer became stuck on the Širalija bridge, damaging its protective fence. The incidents underscore ongoing infrastructure upgrades and traffic management challenges across Serbia’s road network.
