Montenegro, November 2026 – The contract was awarded by state-owned Railway Infrastructure of Montenegro (ŽICG) to CCECC for the modernisation of the Lutovo–Bioče section. The works cover two stretches, Lutovo–Bratonožići and Bratonožići–Bioče, including the main tracks at Bratonožići and Bioče stations. The contract is valued at €16.06 million, excluding VAT, and is scheduled for completion within 36 months.
The agreement was signed on 17 April 2026, with the award notice published on the European Union’s Tenders Electronic Daily procurement platform on 5 November. According to the procurement information, CCECC submitted the sole bid, which was accepted at the contract value of €16,062,902.15.
The project will be financed through a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and a grant from the European Union’s Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF). This financing structure reflects continued European support for upgrading transport infrastructure in the Western Balkans, including improvements to existing railway corridors.
The Lutovo–Bioče section forms part of Montenegro’s railway connection with Serbia and the wider Bar–Vrbnica corridor. Rehabilitation of this route is intended to improve the condition of existing infrastructure along an important link between the Adriatic coast and inland markets. The contract adds to Montenegro’s wider programme of railway infrastructure renewal and maintenance.
