Chinese-built road project redirects traffic in Belgrade

BELGRADE — A new bypass section was opened to traffic in the Serbian capital Belgrade this week, which will help ease traffic from Belgrade's main highways.

At a ceremony on Wednesday for the opening of the final section of the Belgrade bypass from the Strazevica tunnel to the Bubanj Potok interchange, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said it will be the most important road to relocate traffic from the city center.

The 9.74-kilometer-long road was constructed by the Power Construction Corporation of China.
