The A2 motorway (Serbian: Аутопут А2 / Autoput A2), often called the Belgrade–South Adriatic motorway (Serbian: Аутопут Београд–Јужни Јадран / Autoput Beograd–Južni Jadran) is a motorway in Serbia under construction and when finished it will span for approximately 258 kilometers (160 mi). It begins in Belgrade and runs southward to Čačak and Požega, then going further south towards Montenegro ending at future Boljare border crossing. This motorway will thus provide faster link with Montenegro by attaching to its Bar-Boljare motorway, currently under construction. It is frequently referred to as part of proposed Corridor XI (Serbian: Коридор 11 / Koridor XI), or 4B - an envisioned ferry/motorway corridor linking Bari (Italy), Bar (Montenegro), Belgrade (Serbia) and Bucharest (Romania).
