Heaviest traffic expected on roads towards the south

(Patria) - It is the holiday season, so increased vehicle traffic is expected on roads across Bosnia and Herzegovina today, especially on routes towards the south.

The heaviest congestion is expected today on the Sarajevo-Mostar main road, particularly at the entrance to Konjic, the passage through Jablanica, and the approach to Mostar.

Works have begun on the Jablanica-Prozor main road, in the settlement of Mirci (at the exit from Jablanica). A traffic light has been installed at the construction site, and traffic is moving slowly with alternating vehicle passage.

Works are ongoing on sections of the Podlugovi-Sarajevo north and Doboj-Banja Luka highways, as well as on the main roads: Zenica-Žepče (Topčić Polje), Kladanj-Vlasenica, Tuzla-Šićki Brod (turn-off for Lipnica), Ustikolina-Goražde (Mravinjac), Sarajevo-Pale, and Vrhpolje-Ključ.

BIHAMK reminds that traffic on the Jablanica-Bildinje main road is permitted for all vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes total weight.

Due to active landslides, the main roads Dobro Polje-Foča (at locations Sijeračke stijene and Tuhalji) and Gacko-Tjentište (between the tunnels Čemerno and Surdup) are singled out.

There is a long line of vehicles at the exit from Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Izačić border crossing. At other border crossings, passenger vehicles are currently not waiting longer than 15 to 30 minutes. The Brčko border crossing is open for passenger vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.

BIHAMK notes that waiting times at border crossings are subject to frequent changes. Drivers have access to video surveillance cameras on the bihamk.ba website.

Traffic is prohibited for vehicles over 5 tonnes maximum permissible weight at the Karakaj border crossing (near Zvornik).

Freight vehicles over 5 tonnes are being redirected to the Bratunac or Rača border crossings, while buses may use the Šepak border crossing. Freight vehicles can operate at the Šepak border crossing from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. (on weekends they may cross during the 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. period).
