The road network in the territory of the City of Bijeljina consists of 90 km of main roads, 59 km of regional roads and 259 km of local roads, roads-streets in the City of Bijeljina and around 1,000 km of unclassified roads. That is why Bijeljina is well connected to the neighbouring municipalities and regions.

Local roads are very interesting in the territory of Bijeljina Municipality. There are 55 of these roads, 203 km is paved and 56 km are gravel roads. In this way every village or local community has a paved road to its centre. Unclassified roads have been paved in recent years, so all larger hamlets have been connected by paved roads.

There are 221 streets in the city, 170 of which are paved with all accompanying infrastructure (storm drains, sidewalks, vertical, horizontal and light signalling and public lighting). Gravel roads are regularly maintained, so the roads are in good condition.

Bijeljina also has a ring road. The first, second and third phases have been completed with comfortable elements at the level of a main road and it connects the Belgrade direction to the Banja Luka direction, and then to the direction Ugljevik – Tuzla, Bijeljina – Zvornik.

The City of Bijeljina is connected to the railroad network, through a single-track railway connected to Šid. Bijeljina has a favourable geographic location with proximity of two water traffic routes – rivers Sava and Drina. Navigability of Sava from the point of view of Bijeljina Municipality is completely unused.

Sewer network

An especially important activity is the construction of a sewerage system in Bijeljina, because it is of historic importance for Bijeljina from the point of view of construction of sewerage and waste water treatment, as well as the base for protection of ground water and sources of drinking water from possible pollution. This creates long-term prerequisites for the operation of the company, i.e. supplying the city and surrounding areas with drinking water.

The City of Bijeljina has 17,199 m of faecal collectors with a diameter of 250 to 900 mm, six faecal pump stations, including the main faecal pump station – PS-1. In addition, 14,176 m of storm drains have been built, including two pump stations.
