Work began today on drilling a tunnel that is part of the Gradsko – Prilep expressway. The road project, which is badly delayed under the Zaev Government, is meant to link Prilep and Bitola to the E-75 highway and the capital Skopje.

The tunnel is about 140 meters long and is supposed to be built in a year. Estimated 6,000 vehicles cross the narrow road at the moment, making it one of the worst bottlenecks in the country.
