Works visibly started at the future recreation area in Vrtojba. The works, which are expected to be completed by September 2019, comprise a 1,255 square metre parking space for campervans with all the needed services and utilities.
This constitutes the first lot of works within the European project Isonzo-Soča, financed from the Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia 2014-2020 Programme.
The aim of the project is to build a cross-border network of cycling and walking paths along the Isonzo/Soča river and at the border between the two countries, connecting the territories of the municipalities of Gorizia, Nova Gorica and Šempeter-Vrtojba from Solkan to Šempeter-Vrtojba. Extensive infrastructure, offering better access to the area and increasing its attractiveness for local residents and tourists, will be built by 2021.
