The A1 motorway (автопат A1 ) is a motorway in North Macedonia and it forms part of the European route E75 (E75). It spans 173 kilometers (107 mi) as a four-lane, tolled, controlled-access highway. It crosses the country from north to south, starting at the border with Serbia near Kumanovo and ending at the Evzoni-Bogorodica border crossing with Greece near Gevgelija. As a part of the Pan-European corridor X (along with route E70) and connection among North Macedonia's biggest cities, it is one of vital highways for Macedonian infrastructure, and significant works are currently undergoing for its reconstruction and enhancement.

Route

The motorway begins right after the North Macedonia–Serbia border checkpoint and it continues as a first class motorway for approximately 40 km, when it reaches the Skopje Airport and the interchange with the A2. Nevertheless, in the 30-kilometer (19 mi) part between Skopje Airport and Veles, the motorway splits, creating a gradual distance of several kilometers. The northbound route is the postulated motorway route whilst the slightly longer southbound route, with dangerous bends, is the old road and is being used as a freeway as it is only one-way. Currently, enhancement works are undertaken in this part. Also, the 33-kilometer (21 mi) Smokvica–Demir Kapija section was finished in 2018 and now there is only highway from Serbian border to Greek border.

gollark: This probably works only because nobody has done or is likely to do anything which would particularly benefit from legally "owning" space things yet.

gollark: It's not as if original-me would *suffer* at all if they were instantly disintegrated, so I don't particularly care.

gollark: I think that as long as teleportation was shown to be safe the ethical/philosophical issues would be outweighed by practicality pretty fast. I personally don't care about the continuity thing, however that's meant to work.

gollark: Not really the philosophy side, more "you can duplicate people" and "you can duplicate *things*".

gollark: They never consider the implications of that sort of replicator/teleporter technology.
