The total length is 3,840 m with an east- west direction, passing between the south side of the river Banshica by the Dondukov and Slivnica Streets and is divided into five spans. The location is prepared with all the necessary contents for the function of the Object as well as with required communication areas for servicing the functions. The Lane is built in such a way not to reduce the profile of the regulatory basin of the river Banshica, thus not obstructing the free maximum flow of water in the river. The Lane does not endanger the eco system of the river Banshica as well as the city of Kyustendil.
