The '''A1''' motorway ({{lang|mk|'''автопат A1 '''}}) is a motorway in the [[Republic of Macedonia]] an it forms part of the [[European route E75]] (E75). It spans {{convert|165|km|mi|sp=us}} as a four-lane, [[toll road|tolled]], [[controlled-access highway]]. It crosses the country from north to south, starting at the border with [[Serbia]] near [[Kumanovo]] and ending at the [[Evzoni]]-Bogorodica border crossing with [[Greece]] near [[Gevgelija]] . As a part of the [[Pan-European corridor]] X (along with route [[European route E70|E70]]) and connection among Macedonia's [[List of cities in Republic of Macedonia|biggest cities]], it is one of vital highways for Macedonian infrastructure, and significant works are currently undergoing for its reconstruction and enhancement.

The A1 motorway (Macedonian: автопат A1) is a motorway in North Macedonia forming part of the E75. It spans 173 kilometers (107 mi) as a four-lane, tolled, controlled-access highway. It crosses the country from north to south, starting at the border with Serbia near Kumanovo and ending at the Evzoni-Bogorodica border crossing with Greece near Gevgelija. As a part of the Pan-European corridor X (along with the E70), connecting to North Macedonia's biggest cities, it is one of the vital highways for Macedonian infrastructure, and significant works are currently undergoing for its reconstruction and enhancement.

Route

[edit]

The motorway begins right after the North Macedonia–Serbia border checkpoint and it continues as a first class motorway for approximately 40 km, when it reaches the Skopje Airport and the interchange with the A2. Nevertheless, in the 30-kilometer (19 mi) part between Skopje Airport and Veles, the motorway splits, creating a gradual distance of several kilometers. The northbound route is the postulated motorway route whilst the slightly longer southbound route, with dangerous bends, is the old road and is being used as a freeway as it is only one-way. Currently, enhancement works are being undertaken in this part. Also, the 33-kilometer (21 mi) Smokvica–Demir Kapija section was finished in 2018, thus providing a highway between the Serbian and Greek borders.
