On the 16,230 km section, earthworks, asphalt paving, drainage, ongoing artwork, signaling, additional works are underway. The service is provided by Engeplan.

In a note, the company said that the temporary horizontal sign is a temporary service that was carried out to minimize the risk of accidents and improve the safety of users and employees working at the facility.

“This is just a control route to prevent vehicles from moving into the oncoming lane, as risky maneuvers and overtaking can be observed on it every day, which can cost property damage to human victims,” the company said.

The company also acknowledged that, firstly, the horizontal painting was inadequate, and explains that when painting was performed without proper guidance, employee rashes occurred. As soon as the problem was noticed, the company took the necessary measures to improve the coloring.

According to Engeplan, the paving project consists of milling the pavement (removal of worn pavement) in some areas and recomposing it into asphalt concrete on both sides of the carriageway.

Then, a layer of asphalt micropavement will be applied over the entire pavement, and then final horizontal signaling will be carried out using appropriate equipment and materials recommended by the project and using good technique.

“Even though we made improvements together with our team yesterday, we have already hired a specialized company to carry out the fix, although there is no reward for this service. We are here to bring improvements to the community. Unfortunately, we are not immune from some errors, but it is important to correct them quickly. We strive to carry out all stages of work efficiently and safely,” the company added.
