This closure will impact public transportation, particularly bus line 107 (Jankomir - ลฝitnjak). In the direction of ลฝitnjak, the bus will follow a revised route: Jankomir, then the regular route to the intersection of Zagrebaฤka Avenue and Savska Street. From there, it will turn right onto Savska Street, left onto Ulica Prisavlje, left onto Ulica Josipa Marohniฤa, and right onto Slavonska Avenue, before continuing on its regular route. A temporary bus stop will be set up on Zagrebaฤka Avenue at the Savska Street intersection. The line will resume its normal route through the underpass on Monday morning.
Further disruptions affect bus line 118 (Trg Maลพuraniฤa - Voltino), which will operate on modified routes in both directions from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. This is due to ongoing roadworks at the intersection of Zagorska and Selska streets. The revised route involves Selska Street and Ulica Matka Baลกtijana. Temporary bus stops will be established on Ulica Matka Baลกtijana. Buses will not stop at intermediate stops along the altered section.
Line 107 will operate on an altered route in the direction of ลฝitnjak: Jankomir - regular route to the intersection of Zagrebaฤka Avenue and Savska Street - (right) Savska Street - (left) Ulica Prisavlje - (left) Ulica Josipa Marohniฤa - (right) Slavonska Avenue - continuing on the regular route towards ลฝitnjak.
Starting Monday at 8 AM, bus line 270A (Soblinec - Prepuลกtovec) will also face route changes in both directions. The construction of water connections on D29 (Gajec and Vurnovec) necessitates detours through Bosanska, Slavonska, ล aลกinoveฤka, Soblineฤka, Prepuลกtoveฤka, Paruลพevinska, Poljska, and Glavna streets, with a temporary stop established on Paruลพevinska Street.
