Will construction ever end on this Zagreb street? 'I haven't seen workers for months'

Residents of Zagreb's Kostelska Street are expressing growing frustration and doubt over the seemingly endless road construction in their neighborhood. The project, which began in October, has seen minimal progress, with some locals reporting a complete absence of construction workers for several months.

The situation has led to widespread speculation and concern among those living in the area. One resident shared on Reddit that the work has been stalled, with the latest information suggesting a wait for utility companies to install their infrastructure. Initially, the water supply company reportedly finished its work, but then the sewage system decided to dig further while the road was already excavated. The final paving and street finishing are expected to follow, but further delays are anticipated if other services decide to join the excavation.

The same situation has been ongoing since October, and I haven't seen workers for a few months.

Adding to the confusion, other utility providers like HEP (electricity), water, and heating have reportedly completed their tasks. However, there is still a wait for electricity to be installed for lighting along a pathway, with hopes that this will finally lead to a pedestrian path along the full length of the street. Despite these individual steps, the overall lack of visible progress fuels the sentiment that the project may never be fully completed.

Adding to the general disruption, one commenter noted that streets near Sarajevska were further closed until the end of September. This accumulation of delays and the unclear timeline for completion have left residents questioning the efficiency of the city's infrastructure projects. One commenter voiced a common sentiment: "I don't understand why so many construction sites are open if there obviously aren't enough people to finish them."
