Abstract


The paper analyzes the condition of the road surface of Alley Matija Ljubek in the city of Zagreb, the road around Lake Jarun. The Jarun road was built as part of the development of the Jarun Sports and Recreation Center for the Universiade in 1987. It’s 6.4 kilometers long and has one-way traffic for cars, a parking lot, as well as a separate path for bicycles and pedestrians.
During 33 years of exploitation, a number of damages appeared on the roadway, which were further aggravated by seismic activities in the area of the city of Zagreb in 2020. As part of the preparation of the roadway renovation study, measurements of parameters were carried out: roughness index, route depth, macrotexture, cracks and patches on the pavement. After analyzing the measured characteristics of the driving surface, a proposal was made for the renovation of the Alley Matija Ljubek pavement.
To apply for the allocation of non-reimbursable financial resources aimed at restoring the infrastructure to its proper condition, a detailed scope of work for repairing damages to the Alley Matija Ljubek road, funded by the European Union Solidarity Fund through Shoo, has been elaborated. The road was renovated in the spring of 2023 in agreement with the renovation project and with a high-quality approach to maintaining technical accuracy, safety and driving comfort. As a result, the road now has a new lifecycle for exploitation.
