In Vukovar, a connecting road was built and the intersection of Bana J. Jelačića, Trg Slavije and Šamac streets was reconstructed into a roundabout, along with reconstruction of the pedestrian and bicycle paths and public lighting within the project area. Along the new connecting road, which runs from the transformer station near the intersection toward the Danube, a two-way bicycle path and a pedestrian path with public lighting were built. Due to the terrain configuration, reinforced-concrete retaining walls were built following earthworks in the existing ravine to stabilize the slopes in the loess material. The existing west-east bicycle path on the south side of the Trg Slavije/Bana J. Jelačića street corridor, and the east-west bicycle traffic running on the carriageway, were connected to the newly designed path on the connecting street and to Šamac street, as was pedestrian traffic on these streets. The existing public lighting was reconstructed and new lighting was built along the connecting road. The width of the carriageway lanes at the roundabout approaches was matched to the existing roads and to the design vehicle (an articulated truck on the Trg Slavije - Bana J. Jelačića stretch, and a truck on the other approaches). The splitter islands at the roundabout entries were built with varying geometry depending on their position within the intersection and the pedestrian and bicycle traffic crossing them. The project covers plots no. 7135/3, 7136/1, 7135/5, 3941, 7136/4, 3943/2, 3940, 3938, 3939, 3884, 3834, 3833 and 7068/32, all in the Vukovar cadastral zone. Traffic, pedestrian, bicycle and combined pedestrian/bicycle surfaces were built with an asphalt finish. Stormwater drainage from the traffic surfaces is handled by a closed drainage system, while drainage from the pedestrian, bicycle and combined surfaces is mostly by runoff into the green strip.
