Treći trak na autocesti Zagreb-Karlovac postaje jedan od najvažnijih infrastrukturskih projekata u Hrvatskoj. Projekat, koji uključuje izgradnju treće vozne trake na dionici od Zagreba do Karlovca, počinje s javnim savjetovanjem, a gradnja bi trebala početi 2027. godine. Ukupna procijenjena vrijednost radova iznosi 250 milijuna eura, a predviđeni rok realizacije projekta je dvije i pol godine. Projekt je dio dugoročnog plana modernizacije autoceste A1, s ciljem povećanja kapaciteta, smanjenja prometnih zagušenja i poboljšanja sigurnosti.
Javno savjetovanje je počело jučer, a uključuje 39 kilometara autoceste, što predstavlja najprometno važniji dio ceste A1. Hrvatske autoceste objavile su detalje o projektu, uključujući dogradnju treće trake u oba smjera, izgradnju triju novih čvorova – Stupnik, Ašpergeri i Selce (Karlovac), rekonstrukciju čvora Jastrebarsko te uklanjanje postojećih i izgradnju novih nadvožnjaka preko autoceste. Prethodno savjetovanje sa zainteresiranim gospodarskim subjektima provodi se sukladno Zakonu o javnoj nabavi, a predstavlja obvezan korak prije objave postupka javnog natječaja. Po završetku savjetovanja službeno će biti pokrenut postupak javnog natječaja.
Ministar mora, prometa i infrastrukture Oleg Butković istaknuo je da su osigurana sredstva iz europskih fondova, što omogućava početak gradnje 2027. godine. Gradnja će biti uključena u šire planove modernizacije autoceste A1, koji uključuju i gradnju treće prometne trake između Karlovca i Bosiljeva. U vezi s tim, Butković je naglasio da će se u budućnosti razmatrati i gradnja četvrte trake, ako se trenutni trend razvoja prometnog sustava nastavi.
Profesor Marko Ševrović s Fakulteta prometnih znanosti u Zagrebu, međutim, nije bio toliko optimističan. Naglasio je da treća traka neće donijeti rasterećenje onoliko koliko bi javnost željela, jer će se problema, poput zagušenja, ponoviti na drugim mjestima. Ševrović je također istaknuo potrebu za uvođenjem sekcijske kontrole brzine, što bi povećalo kapacitet prometne trake bez potrebe za izgradnjom nove trake. On je dao primjjer kako su zapadne zemlje uspjela povećati kapacitet prometne trake upravo kroz takav pristup.
Pored toga, Ševrović je istaknuo i druge probleme u prometnoj mreži, poput vijadukta Drežnik, koji nema zaustavnu traku, te tunela sv. Marko, koji također predstavlja problem. Pritom je naglasio potrebu za demoliranjem postojećih konstrukcija i izgradnjom novih, kako bi se osigurala kontinuitet prometne trake do Bosiljeva. Osim toga, istaknuo je da su u ljetnim mjesecima i produženim vikendima goleme gužve na dionici autoceste od Zagreba do Bosiljeva, što pokazuje koliko je važan ovaj dio ceste za promet.
Hrvatski autoklub, kao krovna nacionalna udruga vozača i članova, pohvalio je ideju uvođenja sekcijske kontrole brzine i podržava je. Dr. sc. Sinan Alispahić, pomoćnik glavnog tajnika Hrvatskog autokluba, smatra da će ograničenje brzine tijekom izvođenja radova, kao i suženje traka, dovesti do kratkotrajnih problema, ali da će to u dugoročnom vremenu dati rezultate. Njegov mišljenje je da će strpljenje i svjesnost da je to nešto što ima dalekosežne posljedice u kontekstu održivosti prometnog sustava, dovesti do podrške ovom projektu.
U vezi s tim, istaknut je i činjenica da je na autocesti A1 prošlog vikenda prošlo 82.000 vozila u jednom danu, što pokazuje koliko je važan ovaj dio ceste za promet. Ševrović je naglasio da je tu nema više kapaciteta, neminovno moramo ići u širenje. Također, istaknut je i uvod beskontaktnog sustava naplate na Lučkom i na svim dionicama autoceste, što će značajno poboljšati protočnost prometa.
Uz sve to, projekt treće trake na autocesti Zagreb-Karlovac predstavlja dio šireg plana za modernizaciju i povećanje kapaciteta autoceste A1, s ciljem podizanja razine sigurnosti, smanjenja prometnih zagušenja i poboljšanja ukupne protočnosti prometa na koridoru koji povezuje sjever i jug Hrvatske. Početak izvođenja radova planiran je tijekom 2027. godine, a tijekom izvođenja radova predviđena je privremena regulacija prometa sa suženim voznim trakama – po dvije u svakom smjeru – te smanjenim ograničenjem brzine. Očekuje se da će projekt doprinijeti i smanjenju negativnih utjecaja prometa na okoliš, uključujući nižu razinu buke te bolju zaštitu infrastrukture kroz učinkovitiji nadzor i kontrolu teških vozila.

tportalIndependentCenterFactual 98Objective 953 days agoThe article discusses the planned construction of a third lane on the motorway between Zagreb and Karlovac, which is expected to begin after a public consultation process. The estimated cost of the project is 250 million euros, with completion anticipated by 2029 if all goes according to plan. During construction, lanes will be narrowed and speed limits reduced, but two lanes will remain on each side of the highway. Experts like Professor Marko Ševrović note that while the new lane will provide some relief, especially due to increasing freight traffic, it won’t fully solve congestion issues and may lead to the need for a fourth lane in the future. He also highlights other infrastructure problems, such as the lack of a stopping lane at the Drežnik viaduct and the need for improvements to the St. Mark’s tunnel. Ševrović advocates for implementing section-based speed control, similar to practices in Western countries, to improve traffic flow and safety. The Croatian Automobile Club supports this idea. While the narrowing of lanes and reduced speeds during construction could cause temporary disruptions, experts believe the long-term benefits for road capacity and sustainability will be

The project is expected to start next year, with completion anticipated by 2029. During construction, lanes will be narrowed and speed limits reduced, but two lanes will remain on each side of the highway. Experts from the Faculty of Transportation Sciences at the University of Zagreb, including Professor Marko Ševrović, question whether the third lane will significantly alleviate traffic congestion, noting that it will address growing freight traffic but not fully resolve existing issues. They also highlight problems such as the inability to expand the Drežnik viaduct and suggest the need for improved infrastructure like a new bridge over Kupa. Additionally, Ševrović advocates for the introduction of section-based speed control to improve traffic flow.
