CroatiaWorks on the renovation of Kostelska Street in the heart of Trešnjevka are set to begin next week, September 3rd. The project includes the repair of sidewalks, stormwater drainage, and new public lighting over a length of 430 meters. Residents have been waiting for this renovation since October last year, when the street was excavated for the reconstruction of a main sewer line. Locals expressed concerns about safety issues, including potholes creating large puddles after rain and dust spreading during dry periods. They also criticized inadequate traffic management and improper signage at the construction site. While the city occasionally filled potholes, these solutions were temporary. Now, final works are underway, with the city having launched a tender for exceptional maintenance worth 650,000 euros. The project includes not just asphalt replacement but broader infrastructure improvements such as traffic surfaces, stormwater systems, public lighting, communication infrastructure, landscaping, and urban equipment.
