Belgrade–Bar motorway (Serbian and Montenegrin: Аутопут Београд - Бар, Autoput Beograd - Bar), is a future motorway in Serbia and Montenegro. The motorway will connect Serbian capital of Belgrade and Bar, Montenegro's main seaport. Italy, Montenegro and Serbia are lobbying to list the route with Pan-European corridors, and it is frequently referred to as part of proposed Corridor XI, or 4B - an envisioned ferry/motorway corridor linking Bari, Bar, Belgrade and Bucharest.
The road's construction began on May 11, 2015.
Just recently the focus has somewhat shifted away from construction of the transit route of Corridor 10 towards the Belgrade - Bar motorway. The motorway is envisioned as a local link as much as a transit link, connecting southwestern Serbia with Belgrade and the European road network.
Serbian section of the motorway can be roughly divided into two sections - Belgrade to Požega and Požega to Boljare (state border of Serbia and Montenegro).
The section of the road between Belgrade and Požega is 151.63 kilometers long and it will pass through the Serbian towns and municipalities of Ostružnica, Umka, Obrenovac, Ub, Lajkovac, Ljig, Takovo, Preljina (in the municipality of Čačak) and Požega. Currently, 103.09 kilometers of the road is under construction. Total worth of the Belgrade-Preljina section is estimated to be at 889.8 million euros, and because of favorable terrain it will be the cheapest section of the motorway.
