So far, they have cleaned up and levelled the route in the length of two kilometres and reconstructed the two and a half kilometres of the road by filling, spreading and coasting of materials. The works include also cleaning and replacement of ducts and channels for water drainage.
In the Ljig municipality, members of the 333rd Engineer Battalion of the Air Force and Air Defence have been engaged for seven days on cleaning and rehabilitation of the Kozeljica riverbed, the arrangement of the coastal belt and the repair of rural roads damaged by recent floods.
