CONSTRUCTION OF DRIVUŠA-GORICA MOTORWAY
Construction of the 5c Corridor motorway section between Drivuša and Gorica is currently focused on filling the embankments with rock aggregates, backing up the retaining walls with crushed stone, and erection of shutters for the building of retaining walls. Other activities include filling and construction of the culvert inlet at chainage point 3+318, as well as the construction of electrical concrete manholes.
DRIVUŠA-GORICA MOTORWAY SECTION CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Over the past weeks the construction of the 5c Corridor motorway section Drivuša-Gorica has focused on the following tasks: clearing of the remaining loess from the motorway course, transportation and filling of rock aggregates to level-out any grade deviations, removal of the surface soil between M1 and M2 bridges matching the full cross-section of the road, disposal of removed soil at a designated landfill, filling of rock aggregate layers, construction of the central drainage system between bridges M2 and M3, replacement of the culvert on the M17 road, laying of concrete pipes for the brook as well as surface water drainage towards the Bosna river, excavations for a new culvert and filling of new rock aggregates. Works are also under way on the assembling of the bottom RC slab.
Upcoming tasks include the continuation of construction works on the drainage system along the motorway course and the beginning of drainage construction at the Drivuša toll station, as well as the construction of cable ducts and a rock aggregate embankment between bridges M1 and M2.

CONSTRUCTION OF KRAVICE-BIJAČA MOTORWAY
A consortium of companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina led by Euro-Asfalt Ltd. won the public bidding for the construction of the 5c Corridor motorway section Počitelj-Bijača, subsection Kravice-Bijača. Euro-Asfalt’s cost estimate was the lowest one among the bidders. In October 2010, the company successfully completed the prequalification stage and moved forward with the bidding process. The deadline for completion of this motorway section is ten months, a significant challenge having in mind the project’s complexity. The section is 4.09 kilometres long, and includes a frontal toll station, toll collection control facilities, a motorway control and maintenance centre, as well as the Zvirići junction.

EURO-ASFALT’S AID INITIATIVE
Euro-Asfalt workers have joined forces to help those who were struck most severely by the recent bad weather. The workers collected foodstuffs, clothing and other basic provisions for people in need.
Since day one, our entire heavy equipment has been made available to anyone in need of assistance, most notably in Butile, where we managed to clear up the road and re-establish the road link between Butile and Vlakovo. Euro-Asfalt’s heavy equipment is engaged around the clock in the clear-up of threatened areas in Sarajevo and Zenica, as well as in the stabilization of landslides. Some of our equipment has been sent to Odžak, and we have offered assistance to the FBiH Railways.
We call upon all well-meaning people to take part in this effort. Let us join forces in showing humanity and willingness to help one another.

BUILDING AND RECONSTRUCTION OF TRANSVERSE ROAD A
The 650-metre long stretch of the road under construction connects cross-sections P1 through P37. The subbase filling for the first section (P1-P21, 350 m) has been completed, along with 100 metres of kerbs. The work is proceeding with the installation of plumbing, street lights, gully inlets, cutting and subbase preparation.
Speaking of the second section (300 m), the gully inlets have been completed, along with the subgrade construction and a 78-metre retaining wall. The work is proceeding with the laying of subbase and kerbs, as well as the reconstruction of the bridge over Dobrinja River.
The existing utility installations are being removed and replaced by new ones adjusted to the new grade line. The construction works are expected to be completed by the 15th of December of next year, given the right weather conditions and timely resolution of land ownership disputes. This refers to two houses on the left side that need to be demolished. In order to stick to the schedule, this should be completed within the next week.
