In the spring, work is expected to start.The article discusses the planned start of construction on the next phase of the southern bypass road around Lake Bled in Slovenia. The first phase was completed two years ago, and preparations for the second phase are currently underway, including project documentation, land acquisition, and obtaining necessary approvals. Officials expect the administrative unit to issue a building permit by the end of this year, with construction potentially starting in early spring next year. The new section will involve an open trench that will later be concrete-filled and covered again. This part of the road is considered the most challenging due to special construction methods required by a landowner agreement.

Relaxing traffic on one of the busiest sectionsIn Slovenia, traffic was reopened on the renewed Styrian motorway section between Dramlje and Slovenian Konjice towards Maribor after over a year of construction work, which caused multi-kilometer delays. The reopening allows two-way traffic on both directions, but temporary measures remain in place, including a 60 km/h speed limit on the lane toward Ljubljana due to a temporary safety barrier between driving and overtaking lanes. Authorities note that final works, such as testing new electrical equipment, will continue with periodic closures, including one full closure for fire simulation tests in renovated tunnels. Meanwhile, extensive renovation works continue on other sections of the motorway, expected to conclude by late autumn next year.

Nova24TVParty-alignedProgressive5 hr. agoThe Dolenjski Razvojni Klub has relaunched a petition supporting the construction of the southern part of the third development axis, which is currently blocked by the civil initiative 3ROS-jug in Novo Mesto. The petition calls for immediate action, citing concerns over safety and delays caused by the existing state road in Belo Krajino. The group emphasizes the urgency of starting construction, arguing that further delays are unacceptable. They note that the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning has already initiated a renewed process for issuing building permits for the first and second phases of the southern section. The petitioners highlight various pressures they have faced, including legal threats, attempts to access their Facebook profiles, and demands for removal of posts mentioning representatives of the opposing civil initiative. They argue that the state must prioritize public interest over the interests of a small group of opponents and call for the start of construction according to the approved national spatial plan.

The new traffic system on the summit will delight driversThe article discusses the new traffic regulation at the Vršič pass in Slovenia, which was implemented after construction work made parking at the summit impossible during the summer season. The new setup includes free parking until the end of the year, with designated spaces for cars, motorbikes, buses, and short-term stops. Parking areas are reduced by two-thirds compared to before due to environmental considerations, and occupancy will be displayed via traffic signals to guide drivers. The right lane is reserved for those wishing to park, while the left lane is for transit vehicles. Two toll booths have been installed to manage the flow, ensuring safety and efficiency.
