The Ministry of Local Self-Government, Cohesion and Regional Development has approved EU funding for a project supporting the development of cycling infrastructure between Bakovci and Dokležovje. The project will receive over €791,000 from the European Regional Development Fund.
The project aims to advance sustainable mobility in the Urban Municipality of Murska Sobota by providing a safe and convenient cycling connection between the suburban settlement of Bakovci and the neighbouring settlement of Dokležovje.
The project will therefore strengthen connectivity between the urban centre and its hinterland, encouraging a modal shift from private cars to more environment-friendly modes of transport. It will also contribute to improved air quality and quality of life for local residents.
As part of the project, a section of the Soboška ulica road, including carriageway, sidewalks and cycling infrastructure will be reconstructed to accommodate the development of a new cycling connection. The project will include a 2.2-kilometre one-sided, two-way cycle track along the local road connecting Dokležovje and Bakovci. The infrastructure will also feature a grade-separated cycle crossing over the Lendava-Mura flood bypass channel, street furniture, a bike counter and public lighting.
The €1,402,134.40 project will be implemented under Slovenia’s EU Cohesion Policy Programme 2021-2027 and will receive €791,841.08 from the European Regional Development Fund. The beneficiary of the funding will be the Urban Municipality of Murska Sobota.
