The Ministry of Justice, Administration, and Digital Transformation has announced these disruptions, urging citizens, residents, and all road users to show understanding, patience, and respect for the temporary traffic regulations and instructions from the relevant authorities. These activities are being conducted in cooperation with the City of Zagreb and the relevant municipal offices and services to ensure timely coordination of works and traffic organization, minimizing potential inconveniences for citizens. According to the ministry, the construction of the Square of Justice is one of the most important projects for improving judicial infrastructure, and it will contribute to creating more modern and functional conditions for the work of judicial institutions in the long term.

From tomorrow, traffic changes will take place in Zagreb due to works on Trg pravde, with possible congestion, according to the Ministry of Justice, Administration and Digital Transformation. The announcement was made on Monday, stating that temporary disruptions and potential difficulties in traffic flow will occur along the street leading to Baron Filipović from September 1st to 4th, 2026. These changes are linked to the implementation of auxiliary works related to the construction of Trg pravde. The ministry has urged citizens, residents and all road users to understand, exercise patience and respect the temporary traffic regulations and instructions issued by the relevant authorities. The works are being carried out in collaboration with the City of Zagreb and the appropriate municipal offices and services, aiming for proper coordination of activities and organization of traffic so that the possible inconveniences for citizens are minimized. The Ministry emphasized that the construction of Trg pravde represents one of the most important projects for improving judicial infrastructure, and that the project will long-term contribute to creating more modern and functional conditions for the operation of judicial bodies. According to reports from multiple local media outlets, including N1 Hrvatska, tportal and HRT (Hrvatska Radiotelevizija), the traffic changes are expected to affect the area around the street leading to Baron Filipović. The period of disruption spans four days, starting from September 1st and ending on September 4th. During this time, periodic slowdowns and difficulty in moving through the area are anticipated. The ministry has advised drivers to plan their routes accordingly and to comply with the temporary traffic measures in place. The project involves auxiliary works connected to the main construction of Trg pravde, which is part of a larger initiative aimed at upgrading the judicial infrastructure in Zagreb. The location of the work is near the street leading to Baron Filipović, a key thoroughfare in the city center. The collaboration between the Ministry and the City of Zagreb ensures that efforts are coordinated to minimize the impact on daily traffic patterns. Local authorities have been informed and are working alongside the ministry to manage the situation effectively. Residents and commuters in the affected areas have been notified of the planned disruptions. While the exact nature of the traffic adjustments has not been fully detailed, the ministry has confirmed that the changes are temporary and necessary for the completion of the project. The goal is to ensure that the final outcome of the construction contributes significantly to the efficiency and functionality of the judicial system in Croatia. As the works proceed, further updates may be issued regarding specific times of increased congestion or alternative routes that might be recommended. The ministry has stressed the importance of public cooperation during this period, urging individuals to remain patient and follow the guidance provided by local authorities. The project is expected to provide long-term benefits, enhancing both the accessibility and operational capacity of the judicial institutions in the region.

The Krantzewicz family will be late!

The city of Zagreb and construction company Strabag have signed an addendum to their contract for the reconstruction of the Kranjčevićeva stadium, extending project deadlines and increasing the total value by €183,046.90 (excluding VAT). The new schedule now sets completion of works by December 1, 2026, with final obligations ending on February 1, 2027. This delay could impact Dinamo Zagreb’s plans to relocate from Maksimir to the renovated Kranjčevićeva stadium, which was originally scheduled for March 1, 2026. The club’s relocation is tied to the stadium’s readiness, and any further delays could affect both the club’s season planning and the continuation of the new stadium project at its current location. The reasons for the changes were cited as additional work requirements not included in the initial procurement, though specific details remain unclear.

Parts of Zagreb without hot water due to pipeline works

U Novom Zagrebu će biti problem s dostupnošću tople vode od 7. do 19. rujna zbog radova na revitalizaciji vrelovodne mreže. Ove radove provode poduzeće HEP Toplinarstvo, koje objašnjava da su neki cjevovodi stari više od 30 godina i da cilj revitalizacije jest smanjenje gubitaka vode i osiguranje pouzdanog vrelovoda tokom sezone grijanja. Nova cjevovodi su bolje izolirana, otpornija na oborine i prodor vode, te imaju predvidljivi rok trajanja od 30 do 40 godina.

Tomašević on the works in the city and key roads: There has been no investment and renewal for decades

Zagrebački gradonačelnik Tomislav Tomašević dao je konferenciju za medije gdje je objasnio stanje sa radovima u gradu, posebno na ključnim prometnicama. Napisao je da je u gradu dugotrajno nedostajalo investicije u infrastrukturu, što je uzrokovalo problematično stanje cijevi, tramvajskih pruga i drugih elemenata. Naglasio je da će se potruditi da se najgori radovi izvrše tokom ljeta, ali da to nije moguće uključujući i druge razdoblja. Tomašević je istaknuo da neki radovi, poput raskrižja Vukovarske i Savske, već su završeni, dok su drugi, poput radova na Vukovarskoj cesti, predviđeni za kraj mjeseca. Uočio je da su više od 90% svih najavljenih radova završena ili će biti završena u roku.

Tomašević to journalists: 'The worst works are behind us, but there will be more'

Gradonačelnik Zagreba, Tomislav Tomašević, bio je na raspolaganju medijima i odgovorio na pitanja o stanju gradske infrastrukture, uključujući probleme sa ilegalnim otpadom u jezerima na Savici i kvalitetu vode. Tomašević je naveo da su najgori radovi izvršeni tokom ljeta, ali da je potrebno nastaviti s rekonstrukcijama podzemne infrastrukture koje će trajati cijelu godinu. Pridobio je priznanje radnika koji su radili u ekstremnim uvjetima, a navela je da je većina projekata završena ili će biti završena do početka školske godine. Međutim, neki projekti, poput rekonstrukcije na Vukovarskoj, neće biti završeni u roku, dok će drugi, poput asfaltiranja avenije Većeslava Holjevca, biti završeni kasnije. Tomašević je naglasio potrebu za daljom investicijom u infrastrukturu i zahvalio građanima na strpljenju.
