Project Description

ENKA and its joint venture partner Bechtel were selected by the Government of the Republic of Serbia in December 2019 to design and build 112 km Morava Corridor Motorway Project, which will connect central Serbia and Pan-European Corridors 10 and 11.

Morava Corridor Motorway is a 112 km dual-carriageway motorway consisting of three sectors, extending from Pojate and the A1, the North-South Motorway in central Serbia, through Kruševac, formerly the industrial hub of Yugoslavia, and up into Preljina in the north of Čačak. The project runs from east to west in the West Morava River valley and is regarded as a key enabler of the economic corridor serving the industrial cities of Kruševac, Kraljevo, Čačak and their ultimate international connections to Bosnia, Montenegro and North Macedonia. According to the terms and conditions of the signed contract, the construction of the motorway started in 2020. An extensive telecommunication network is being constructed along the alignment to provide a digital corridor that enhances regional connectivity, including the deployment of 5G infrastructure.

ENKA Scope of Services

The project features the design and construction of 13 interchanges; numerous structures crossing highways, railways and the challenging Morava River along the route; extensive flood protection measures; scour protection of riverbed, structures and dykes; and the construction of a new riverbed due to the wide flood plain of the West Morava River. The scope of the project includes 82 bridges, 29 overpasses, 11 underpasses, 163 culverts, 35 km of river regulation, 26 km of dyke and the production of over 20 million tonnes of aggregate.
