EU funding for cycling path from Litija to Pogonik settlement

Ljubljana, 13 January 2021 – Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy has issued a financial support decision for the project “Construction of the cycling path from the town of Litija to the settlement of Pogonik”. The project worth EUR 3 million will be implemented by the Munucipality of Litija and will receive approximately EUR 981,000 of European Regional Development Fund support.

 The project is part of the Development Agreement of the Osrednjeslovenska development region. The Municipality of Litija will construct a cycling path and partially reconstruct the local road Slapničar – Jevnica – Kresnice – Litija in the total length of just over 5,000 metres.

The construction of the cycling path will expand the cycling network, ensure the safety of cyclists, increase the use of public passenger transport and promote cycling as a healthy lifestyle.
