Implementation of Infrastructure Projects in Skopje Accelerates

The entire Momin Potok interchange is expected to open to traffic by the New Year, Skopje Mayor Orce Gjorgjievski announced today.

While inspecting the work at Momin Potok today, Gjorgjievski explained that this complex capital investment includes the construction of five new bridges, protective retaining walls, and bicycle and pedestrian lanes. According to him, the project will significantly ease traffic congestion in this part of the city.

Skopje Mayor Orce Gjorgjievski said that approximately 2 kilometers of retaining walls have been built as part of the interchange, while work is under way on a total of five bridges, along with dedicated bicycle and pedestrian paths.

He announced that the bridge near the inspection site will be concreted on Tuesday and will subsequently open, providing a full connection to the roundabout located 500 meters away. Gjorgjievski added that the final bridge is being built in the Saraj area, where the old structure is being demolished and widened at the same time.

Speaking about Boris Trajkovski Boulevard in Drachevo, Gjorgjievski said that all property-related issues have now been resolved and work along the route is continuing. This project is also scheduled for completion by the New Year.

Gjorgjievski also emphasized that work to connect Gazi Baba with Aerodrom via General Mihajlo Apostolski Boulevard will begin in August, once the deadline for vacating the buildings has passed.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski announced that the City of Skopje will receive trucks, tankers and street-cleaning vehicles. He also said that the tender for electric buses has been completed, while the appeals procedure is currently under way.
