Transport in Montenegro

[1] There are also airports at Berane, Žabljak and Nikšić, but those are used mostly for general aviation, and are not equipped to handle larger aircraft.

From 1992 to 2012, it has been used solely for freight traffic, particularly bauxite from the Nikšić mine to the Podgorica Aluminium Plant, with the maximum speed on the railway reduced to 30 km/h.

There are plans to reconstruct the railway and re-introduce passenger traffic, as it is important for the interests of both Montenegro and Albania.

Sozina tunnel shortened the journey from Podgorica to Bar to under half an hour and made the trip significantly safer.

Long term plans also include the Montenegrin section of Adriatic–Ionian motorway as a significant transit link.

The highway, expected to go through northwestern Albania, (from Grabom to Vermosh), will mean a journey time to Gusinje and Plav of about half an hour.

Also, the Verige bridge spanning the Bay of Kotor and part of the Adriatic Highway is planned to be built in the future.

It is capable of handling about 5 million tons of cargo, and is a port for ferries to Bari and Ancona in Italy.
