The Program Management Award is the latest recognition for the Morava Corridor Motorway, following the IRF Environmental Stewardship Award received in October.

The environmental features of the project include 37 km of river diversion, 28 kilometers of flood protection dykes, and 236 kilometers of drainage systems.
The 112-kilometer Morava Corridor Motorway, designed for speeds up to 130 km/h, strategically connects central Serbia to Pan-European Corridors 10 and 11, facilitating access to Bosnia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia. It includes a range of infrastructure such as interchanges, bridges, overpasses, underpasses, and wildlife protection features.
