After several decades, the preparation of the project for the continuation of the Semolj Tunnel construction is being launched, bringing back into focus one of the key infrastructure projects for the transport connectivity of northern Montenegro. The allocated budget for this work is EUR 490,000 excluding VAT, or EUR 592,900 including VAT.
According to the Ministry of Public Works, completing this project process represents an important step toward increasing the efficiency of the Mioska–Šavnik road via Boana and strengthening the connection of Šavnik municipality with Kolašin and Podgorica.
The Semolj Tunnel, whose construction began in 1975, is planned as a tunnel section approximately 1.75 kilometers long, which would significantly ease passage over the mountain pass and reduce travel time. Work was halted after only about 460 meters had been completed, leaving the tunnel unfinished for decades.
Completion of the Semolj Tunnel will contribute to planning a safer and more efficient traffic route, ease the daily movement of vehicles, and create favorable conditions for the economic and social development of local communities.
The Ministry of Public Works continues its dedicated investment in the modernization and improvement of Montenegro’s transport infrastructure.
Bids for the project must be submitted by 10:00 AM on January 14.
