The Traffic Administration is not required to develop an Environmental Impact Assessment for the construction of the 42-meter-long Ravnjak bridge, which is set to be built on the Đurđevića Tara – Mojkovac roadway in Bistrica.

This information comes from a decision issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. The bridge will span the Ravnjak River, which may be affected by muddy conditions during construction due to foundation digging, thus it is advised to conduct work during the summer and autumn months when the riverbed is drier.

The accompanying documentation notes that typical on-site construction pollution is anticipated, and it will be localized.

“During the initial stage of bridge and access road construction, the route will be cleared, meaning the land cover will be removed from areas designated for access roads and bridge foundations. This will involve the removal of plant cover, specifically deciduous vegetation, which may negatively impact the local flora and fauna to some degree. However, within the construction zone and its vicinity, there are no protected sites or cultural heritage assets,” the attached document indicates.

Deciduous forests located on either side of the proposed bridge will be removed, although it is highlighted that the adverse effects during the project implementation and route usage will not be significant. The Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism, and State Property issued the urban and technical requirements for the development of the technical documentation for the new Ravnjak bridge and access roads in June 2024, with the project adhering to the spatial and urban plan of Mojkovac.
