M-9 highway (Montenegrin: Magistralni put M-9) is a Montenegrin roadway.

History

The M-9 highway was officially opened for traffic in 1984.[1] It was built as part of the larger M-9 highway within the Yugoslav highway network, spanning Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia. It connected Kolašin and Andrijevica with Peć and Priština in Kosovo, and Leskovac and Pirot in Serbia.[2] Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, the segment between Murino and Peć was closed during the Kosovo War in 1999. In 2010, work began on asphalting 10 kilometres of the road between Murino and Čakor, with the intention of reopening the road for vehicular traffic. An additional 12 kilometres of road was planned to be asphalted between Čakor and the Kosovar border.[3]

The M-9 highway originally flowed through the city of Kolašin to connect it to the M-2 highway. A bypass was built via the Vladoš Bridge to merge the M-9 with the M-2. On 27 March 2014, the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs officially realigned the M-9 highway to its current alignment, incorporating the Vladoš Bridge, while downgrading the M-9's former path through Kolašin as a municipal road.[4]
