Looking back at some of the implemented junction projects on the state road D8, the minister Oleg Butkovic on Wednesday, he pointed out that it was the turn of the Mandalina node, which is very important because in this part of the entrance to Šibenik, especially in the tourist season, crowds are created, so in this sense, resolving this will further relieve it.
The contract signing ceremony for the project 'Reconstruction of the intersection of the state road D 8 and V. Škorpika Street in Šibenik - Mandalina junction - 1st phase (1 carriageway)' took place on February 14 in Šibenik.
The project includes the reconstruction of the intersection, i.e. the construction of a junction in two levels with two roundabouts, and one uneven roundabout will be located at the place of the current traffic lights, and the other in Velimira Škorpika Street with branches towards TC Dalmare, the city district of Mandalina and the new fire station.
The construction of the project in question will significantly increase bandwidth both the intersection itself and DC8 for vehicles in transit, and the connection of the business zone with DC8 and the connecting road to the highway will be significantly improved.
The aforementioned project activities will raise the level of traffic service in that area, which will also increase traffic safety.
