Chaos on Vojislava Ilića Street: Trolleybus Lines 19, 22, and 29 Temporarily Suspended!
Thought traffic in Belgrade couldn’t get any worse? Think again! Vojislava Ilića Street, one of the city’s busiest roads, is turning into a nightmare for drivers and commuters alike. Due to roadworks from June 30 to July 5, the right lane will be closed, and the left lane will be used for two-way traffic. Sounds like a recipe for traffic chaos? You bet it is!
What’s going on?
- Trolleybus lines 19, 22, and 29 are temporarily suspended. Yes, you read that right – no more trolleybuses on these routes during the works.
- New bus lines 22a1 and 29a have been introduced, running alternative routes via Slavija Square, Kruševačka, and Medaković 3.
- The Šumice bus stop towards the city is temporarily closed for lines 20, 29a, and 29n.
Why is this a problem?
Vojislava Ilića is one of Belgrade’s busiest streets. Closing the right lane and running two-way traffic on the left lane means massive traffic jams. Daily trolleybus users now have to navigate new routes and lines, a real nightmare for anyone rushing to work or home.
How will traffic flow?
Traffic will be slow and congested. Drivers should expect delays and be patient. The Public Transport Secretariat urges understanding, but honestly, who has the patience in the hot summer days?
Is this the end?
Unfortunately, no. The works are necessary for maintenance and infrastructure improvement, but the way they are organized and communicated leaves much to be desired. Could it have been done differently? Probably yes, but chaos seems inevitable.
Conclusion
If you plan to use public transport in Belgrade in the coming days, brace yourself for surprises. Trolleybus lines 19, 22, and 29 are on pause, and new bus lines run complicated routes. Traffic on Vojislava Ilića will be slow, and jams will be huge. Is this just the start of the summer traffic hell, or will things get better soon? Stay tuned and see for yourself!
