Belgrade's Ring Road, look out for appreciating property along the trail
Belgrade's inner ring road is a work in process. It will be a new inner city half-ring that would connect Tosin Bunar street and big city transit hub Autokomanda. The first adopted section of this inner city ring is 8km long and includes reconstructions and upgrades on all access roads that will intersect the main route of the ring.
Next comes the big junction with Jurija Gagarina street that will have access roads for the new bridge over Sava River. Then following the bridge, transit road will cross the tip of Ada Ciganlija and continue till ‘Radnicka’ intersection that will be the link of Boulevard of Vojvode Misica with the ring road. After that, route will pass along the hippodrome on the pylon construction all the way to the bottom of Senjak where it will interchange with Pozeska street, that will go through significant transformation. New bridge construction will allow crossing the Pastrovic street, where the continuation of the road will link with inner city half-ring. That will be big four-armed intersection on the portal of Topcider tunnel.
Topcider tunnel
This section starts on the entrance to the tunnel, where the already mentioned big junction is divided into two directions that will enter two separate tunnel tubes 2172 meters long. Each tunnel tube will have 2 lanes of 3.5 meters wide and one boundary lane of 0.3 meters. Project incorporates all European standards so there will be one car bridge between tubes on 750 meters, the pedestrian crossover path on every 250 meters as well as the phone booths and firefighting equipment on every 125 meters. Tunnel exit will be under the the south viewers platform of the Partizan stadium where it will enter Dr. Milutin Ivkovic street and continue to Autokomanda.
This section of the inner ring road on its part from Belgrade hippodrome to block 66 will have tracks for future metro line that will enable reorganization of city transport system and introduction of semi-circle bus lines to significantly improve the flow of people.
Exceptionally hard section of this ring is now being planned and will wait its adoption. It is the next section from Autokomanda (intersecting highway with big junction loops) and very complex Dusanovac loops. Also that area is very densely built so the transit will have to include at least two tunnels underneath the Zvezdara to eventually surface east of Novo Groblje. The plan is for it to end joining Pancevo bridge.
With the completion of this inner city transit ring, the traffic would be much better distributed to achieve more dynamic transport with fewer jams. For example: people going from New Belgrade to Nis won’t have to use Gazela bridge anymore, and people from north Belgrade and Banovo Brdo will have fast link with New Belgrade and city centre.
The entire half ring is expected to be finished by 2015.
