Vodno cable car goes into service for comprehensive repairs; cost €850,000

JSP "Skopje" has begun a comprehensive servicing of the Vodno cable car, company officials announced. The work includes a full reconstruction of the passenger cabins and the motor has been sent for repair.

Contract names manufacturer and cost

The contract published on the website of the Public Procurement Bureau states that the maintenance will be carried out by the original manufacturer, the Austrian company Doppelmayr, and that the operation will cost around €850,000.

The servicing is intended to address wear accumulated since the line was first put into operation and to prepare the installation for safe, regular use.

Mayor Orce Gjorgjievski posted on his Facebook profile that the works are expected to finish in December and that, after a six-month pause, the cable car will be put back into operation.

JSP and the municipality have not yet published a day-by-day schedule for testing and recommissioning; passengers will be informed once a concrete reopening date is confirmed.
