Dualling of the Ypsilon from Pula up to the Myrna bridge is being rapidly completed. Much of it is already functioning particularly South of Kanfanar and white lining seems to be getting done on the rest. North of the Myrna bridge they are still earth moving on some stretches, but it looks like even that part could be open for midsummer. Since part of the work has involved building toll stations, be prepared to have to pay to use the Ypsilon after the summer. Currently, you only have to pay when crossing the Myrna bridge or if you join or exit at Pula or Vodnjan.
Dualling of the other arm of the Ypsilon is currently under way between Kanfanar and Pazin where they have been widening the cutting at Kanfanar. I've no news yet on dualling from Pazin to Ucka. That stretch has a lot of viaducts that will be expensive to dual. Since there seem to be no plans to widen either the Lim or Myrna bridges just yet, resulting in the dual carriageway reverting to single lanes over those, it may be that various viaducts around and beyond Pazin will similarly remain single lane in each direction with new passing places in between them.
On the East coast Barban seems to be getting a new bypass road. Be prepared for lengthy detours on white roads.
