PowerChina requests a temporary permit for the Savska-Dunavska tunnel works

N1, citing eKapija, writes that PowerChina filed a request with Belgrade's urbanism secretariat for a temporary construction permit for the city tunnel between the Savska and Dunavska slopes, from the Faculty of Economics to Jovana Avakumovica Street. The request concerns works on the Palilula side of the future tunnel link; the tunnel is planned at around two kilometers, underground utilities must be relocated before boring, and the announced works timeline runs to 2030.

PowerChina filed for a temporary construction permit for the tunnel from the Savska to Dunavska slope

(PowerChina podnela zahtev za privremenu građevinsku dozvolu za tunel od Savske do Dunavske padine)

N1 carries eKapija's report: PowerChina applied to Belgrade's Secretariat for Urbanism and Construction Affairs for a temporary permit connected with the city tunnel from the Faculty of Economics to Jovana Avakumovica Street. The request concerns the Palilula side of the future tunnel link. The outlet recalls that earlier this year the government established public interest for expropriation of land and buildings along Bulevar despota Stefana, and that the tunnel itself should be around two kilometers long. Water, sewer, power, and telecom installations must be relocated before boring; preparatory works have already been announced, boring machines are expected next year, and works are supposed to last until 2030. N1 also recalls previous metro-deadline shifts and criticism from university experts who called the proposed plan unacceptable for Belgrade in transport, economic, and environmental terms.
