State roads in Croatia

D532 is a state road in Dalmatia region of Croatia, planned to connect the A1 motorway in Zagvozd interchange, to Baška Voda at the Adriatic coast and D8 state road (to the south) and D62 state road immediately to the north of the motorway. The section north of the motorway is completed and is used as a D62 to A1 connector, while the leg south of the A1 motorway is under construction.[1] The road is planned to be 10.5 km (6.5 mi) long.[2]

The most significant structure on the D532 route is Sveti Ilija Tunnel through Biokovo mountain. The tunnel has been excavated in 2010, but it is not yet completed, and the D532 road is not scheduled to be opened before 2012.[3][4]

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, state owned company.[5]

Traffic volume

The D532 state road traffic volume is not reported by Hrvatske ceste, however they regularly count and report traffic volume on the A1 motorway Zagvozd interchange, which connects to the D532 road only, thus permitting the D532 road traffic volume to be accurately calculated.[6] The report includes no information on ASDT volumes.
