Bechtel and joint-venture partner ENKA have been selected by the Government of North Macedonia to build two new motorways in the country.
The first, known as Corridor 8, is an east-west route connecting the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea through Albania, North Macedonia and Bulgaria. The second, known as Corridor 10d, is a key component of the Pan-European Transport Corridor 10, connecting Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Greece. The new motorways will total 110 kilometers (68 miles), and construction will start in 2023.
“The construction of these motorways is of incredible importance for the improvement and modernization of our infrastructure,” said Dimitar Kovačevski, prime minister, at the signing ceremony in North Macedonia. “These two corridors will create a vital link for our regional transport system and make the country more visible for foreign investment.”
