E65 Highway in Gostivar — Online Webcam Traffic

North Macedonia is an important transit hub in the Balkans, and the toll road E65 in Gostivar is one of its key arteries. This highway handles heavy truck and passenger vehicle traffic connecting the country's capital with the western regions. On this page, the webcam allows you to watch online in real time the operation of the toll plaza on this strategic route, assessing the current traffic and highway congestion.

International significance of the E65 highway

The European route E65 in the Gostivar area is the A2 motorway — a national motorway of North Macedonia, part of the international E-road network. This corridor is classified as a class "A" north-south route, which underscores its high technical status. For the city, this means constant transit traffic from Central Europe to the Aegean and Adriatic Seas.

Pan-European Corridor 8 and transit traffic

The E65 motorway (A2) in the Gostivar area is a key component of the Pan-European Transport Corridor 8, connecting the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea through Albania, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria. The route provides international transport between Central Europe and Greece. That is why the camera shows a large number of heavy trucks with various license plates — these are international freight transport for which this road, where the camera is installed, is critically important.

History of construction and modernization of the A2 motorway

The construction of the A2 motorway (E65) in North Macedonia was completed in 2004. However, transport infrastructure requires constant investment. In 2023, construction began on a new section of the Tetovo – Gostivar – Bukojchani motorway modernization as part of the expansion of Corridor 8. These works are necessary to improve the safety and capacity of the road.

Toll sections and road surface features

The 50 km section of the E65 motorway (A2) from Skopje to Gostivar is a toll road. At the same time, the Tetovo–Gostivar section (25 km) has no emergency lanes, which reduces its capacity compared to full-fledged motorways. The toll plaza broadcast by the webcam regulates traffic flow and allows financing the maintenance of this important stretch of road.
