With the completion of these works and the construction of the customs terminal on the Croatian side, the city of Gradiška will be permanently relieved of traffic jams, while at the same time the living and working conditions of citizens and numerous business entities will be significantly improved.

Works on the construction of the connecting road included:

• construction of 5.15 km long section of the main road with a complete drainage system;
• construction of a roundabout;
• construction of 3.95 km long pedestrian and bicycle path and
• installation of complete traffic signalization and road equipment on the entire section.
