The Sava bridge near Sabac, he said, is "a small masterpiece".
"I've never watched a bridge being built in such a way. I always wondered how they get to the bottom of the river with piles, and here I saw it done technically and technologically," he added.
The commercial contract to design and execute works on the Ruma-Sabac highway and the Sabaca-Loznica expressway was signed on November 19, 2019.
