Tenders for Construction of Two-Track Belgrade-Nis Railroad to Be Published Soon

The tenders for the contractors on the sections of the two-track Belgrade-Nis railroad, of 230 kilometers, which will be designed on over 50% of that length for speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour, are expected to be published soon, pointed out Nebojsa Surlan, the director general of Serbian Railways Infrastructure.

According to him, the project is split into three sections. The first one goes from Resnik to Velika Plana, the second from Velika Plana to Paracin and the third from Paracin to Trupale.

– For sections two and three, we expect the preliminary designs to be completed in June this year, and for section one, to be completed in November – said Surlan.

– For the works on that railroad, Serbian Railways Infrastructure will secure EUR 2.75 billion, through loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the EU has provided a grant of EUR 600 million for that project.
