Residents of Svetosavska Street in Novi Vinodolski have been waiting over 20 years for asphalt paving, with conditions worsening due to frequent potholes after rain. The street has become nearly impassable for private vehicles. Local authorities state that road repairs will begin in autumn under a contract with an unsorted roads maintenance contractor, but the project will proceed in three phases due to financial constraints. The first phase covers approximately 240 meters of the road, with plans to install additional communal infrastructure such as drainage, lighting, and communication systems. The mayor’s office expects to launch a tender process for the contractor in September, aiming for construction to start by November, with completion within five months of signing the agreement. However, residents remain frustrated, citing delays and lack of progress.
