021 reports that the main structure of the new Danube bridge in Novi Sad was joined on June 18 as part of the Fruskogorski Corridor. The outlet says the bridge with approaches is about 1.7 km long, the central section across the Danube is 505.75 m, and another key structure on the corridor is the roughly 3.5 km Iriski venac tunnel. 021 notes that completion and opening had previously been announced for the second half of 2026, but it is now clear that this will not happen; the corridor is meant to connect Novi Sad, Ruma, Sabac, and Loznica and provide a faster link between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania.

The outlet quotes him describing the roughly 1.7 km bridge as an architectural and construction marvel and stresses that it should connect Backa, Srem, Macva, Belgrade, Republika Srpska, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In its factual background, Novosti says the Fruskogorski Corridor is worth about EUR 606 million, the Novi Sad - Ruma expressway is 44.41 km long, the contractor is China Road and Bridge Corporation, and the investor/client is Koridori Srbije.
