With the opening of the section of the highway from Preljina to Pakovrac, the traffic jams that were created through Cacak, especially during the summer vacation season and on weekends, will become a thing of the past, because all transit traffic was redirected to the new bypass.
At the new toll station near Pakovrac, six lanes were made for the passage of vehicles in both directions. Also, drivers will be at the service of traffic signals, which broadcast important information about the situation on the roads, dangers, traffic accidents. Meters have also been installed that will measure how many vehicles pass during the day. Meteorological sensors for rain, ice and snow will also make driving easier.
The open section is part of the Preljina-Požega highway, 30.9 kilometers long, where the main contractor is the Chinese company China Communications Construction Company Ltd.
