Podgorica Traffic Gridlock: Road Closure Causes Citywide Chaos

Podgorica Traffic Gridlock: Vojislavljevića Street Closure Causes Chaos Podgorica, Montenegro – Construction of a new boulevard has brought traffic in the Montenegrin capital to a standstill. The closure of Vojislavljevića Street, near the footbridge, which began today, is expected to last until September. This has resulted in significant traffic jams and delays for commuters. "The road closure is necessary for the construction of the new boulevard," explained a spokesperson for the Podgorica Public Works Department. "We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we are working to minimize disruption." The video footage shows heavy traffic congestion on nearby streets, with vehicles backed up for blocks. Drivers are forced to use alternative routes, adding significantly to their commute times. The situation is expected to worsen as the construction continues. While the construction is causing significant disruption, the new boulevard is expected to improve traffic flow in the long term. The project is part of a larger effort to modernize Podgorica's infrastructure and improve the quality of life for its residents.
