Large-scale repair works on the water and sewage network are starting in the residential complex "Bratya Miladinovi," which will lead to significant changes in traffic and difficulties for thousands of residents and guests of the city. The repair, which is part of a long-term plan for the modernization of the city's infrastructure, will require the complete closure of a key intersection for a period of three weeks.
Traffic will be completely suspended at the intersection of "Struma" Street with "Drin" Street. The closure takes effect at 11:00 AM on Thursday, August 21, 2025, and is expected to last until mid-September. This decision is necessary due to the complexity of the repair works and the need to ensure the safety of workers and citizens.
Temporary traffic organization has been introduced
As a result, a new temporary traffic organization is being introduced throughout the area. Those traveling from "Odrin" Street to the "Bratya Miladinovi" residential complex and vice versa will have to use alternative routes. The closed section is one of the main transport arteries in the neighborhood, which will likely lead to traffic jams on the surrounding streets. Authorities urge drivers to be patient and follow the directions on the road signs.
Many of the local residents and regular commuters are concerned about the upcoming inconveniences, especially during peak hours. Delays in movement are expected, which will affect both public and private transport.
The responsible institutions appeal to all road users to strictly comply with the temporary organization and to use pre-designated detour routes to reduce traffic tension. The work on the water and sewage network is essential for improving the quality of the service and preventing future accidents, which is ultimately in everyone's interest.
