The North-South Highway project in Montenegro starts from Bar, a coastal city in the south, and ends at Boljare, a border city between Montenegro and Serbia in the north, with a total length of approximately 180 kilometers. The North-South Highway is the first highway in the country's history and is hailed as the "Montenegro Century Project."

Among them, the priority section (Smokovac-Mateševo section) is 41 kilometers long and requires the construction of 16 tunnels,20 bridges, and interchanges. The bridge-tunnel ratio of the project is approximately 60%; the project section crosses two climatic zones and two geological zones. The first 22 kilometers is in a Mediterranean climate zone belonging to the limestone area, while the latter 19 kilometers is in a temperate continental climate zone belonging to the flysch area. This is the highest-altitude, most geologically complex, and most challenging highway project implemented by Chinese companies in Europe, and also the most technically and constructively challenging section of the North-South Highway project. This section of the project started construction in 2015 year month, and 2022 year month, it was successfully completed and put into safe operation, which will help to stimulate the economic vitality of northern Montenegro, promote overall economic development, and deepen the connection between Montenegro and regional countries.

After the completion of the entire North-South Highway, Montenegro will be connected to other Central and Eastern European countries via Serbia. Moreover, the Montenegro North-South Highway is part of the "Pan-European 11 Corridor." According to the plan, the Montenegrin city of Bar will be connected to Bari, Italy; Belgrade, Serbia; and Bucharest, Romania through the "Corridor." The completion of the entire North-South Highway marks Montenegro's permanent connection with the world.
