"With the expressway in operation, the journey between the capital Skopje and the eastern city of Kocani will be more convenient and most importantly, the safety of residents' driving will also be improved," he said.

In order to overcome adverse factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, land acquisition and demolitions and complex local geology since the start of construction, POWERCHINA has strengthened its contract performance management and controls, maintained good communications with all parties and guaranteed the supply of manpower and construction resources.
