Construction of €14m Novi Marof east bypass road starts

ZAGREB, July 1 (Hina) – Contracts for the start of a 105.5 million kuna project to construct a Novi Marof east bypass road were signed in that northwestern Croatian town on Wednesday.

The contracts were signed by the Croatian state-run road operator (HC) director, Josip Skoric, and senior executives of the companies that will build the road.
