Significance of Belgrade Bypass
The Belgrade Bypass connects the leg of Corridor Xb, E-75 (border with Hungary, Horgoš - Novi Sad - Belgrade) with Corridor X, E-70 (border with Croatia, Batrovci - Belgrade), IB category state road no. 26 and Route 4, E -763 (Belgrade - Požega - border with Montenegro Boljare) and again, segment of Corridor X, E-75 (Belgrade - Niš - Preševo - border with Macedonia).
With the completion of the Belgrade Bypass, traffic is diverted from the overloaded basic network of city roads to the Bypass, which contributes to the shortening of travel time for transit flows, reducing the number of traffic accidents, the costs of vehicle exploitation, harmful gases and noise from vehicles in the inner city area.

Section A: Batajnica-Dobanovci - works completed on the roadway and on the Dobanovci and Batajnica interchanges. .
