Chaos in Zemun: Roadworks and Public Transport Changes That Will Drive You Crazy!
Thought riding public transport in Belgrade was easy? Think again! Zemun has become the epicenter of traffic chaos due to construction works on the secondary water and sewage network in Banatska Street and the intersection with Cara Dušana Street. The result? Changes in public transport lines that will make you wonder if it’s even possible to get anywhere on time!
What’s going on?
Starting August 15, due to the closure of the right traffic lane on Cara Dušana Street heading towards the city, vehicles will be redirected to the free left lane. The right lane of Banatska Street towards Ugrinovačka is closed, so vehicles are using altered routes. Lines 85, 103, 105L, and 112 are the most affected, with numerous detours through Pupin Bridge, Filipa Višnjića, Rada Končara, and Ugrinovačka streets.
Who’s hit the hardest?
Passengers on lines 85, 103, 105L, and 112 will have to adapt to new routes and stops, including newly established stops on Filipa Višnjića Street. Imagine how confusing this will be for daily commuters!
Why is this a problem?
The works are necessary, but the way they are organized causes frustration. Traffic jams, unclear changes, and extra travel time are just some of the issues. Not to mention the impact on those without alternative transport options.
Is this the end?
Unfortunately, no. The works will continue, and the traffic changes will remain in effect until completion. So brace yourself for more complications and road rage.
Conclusion
Zemun is currently the place where commuters’ patience is tested to the max. If you use public transport in this part of Belgrade, prepare for chaos, because your trip will be longer and more complicated. But hey, at least the water and sewage systems will be better, right?
