Main objectives:

The uncompleted parts of the road network are obstacles for the transport of cargo and passengers between the neighbouring countries, especially in the border zones. The construction of the motorway between the border with Hungary and Beli Manastir will remove a bottleneck in the road traffic between the Republic of Croatia and Hungary, by ensuring the functionality of the border road network and by connecting both parts of the corridor Vc (the one in the Republic of Croatia with the one in Hungary With the completion of the project, there will be more benefits for the users in the field of mobility and transport, both within the EU and in relation to third countries.

Completion of this project will make:

  • the travel route shorter,
  • time of travel shorter,
  • construction of the new road infrastructure possible.

In the transport network of the Republic of Croatia, this route is a mainstay of the eastern part of the country and links Osijek-Baranya County with the corridor X, where a motorway is already built Bregana – Zagreb – Lipovac (A3).

Short description:

The project includes the construction of the 5,0 km long section between Hungarian border and Beli Manastir as the northern end of the Croatian A5 motorway Beli Manastir - Osijek – Svilaj, which is 88,6 km long part of the Comprehensive TEN-T network and pan-European corridor Vc Budapest - Osijek – Sarajevo – Ploče. Croatian-Hungarian border is the connection point between Croatian A5 and Hungarian M6 motorways.

The project implies the construction of a full-scale motorway with two traffic lanes and an emergency lane for each direction. Carriageways are separated with a central reserve. Project includes construction of 2 crossings (grade-separated intersections with the existing roads), 2 bridges, drainage system, road furniture and utilities. The last section to be completed on the A5 motorway before the construction of the border section is Beli Manastir - Osijek and it is scheduled for completion in 2020.
