The M-2 (or A-2) motorway (Macedonian: A-2 автопат) is a motorway in the Republic of Macedonia. It forms part of the European route E65 (E65), connecting the cities of Skopje and Tetovo.

Route

Beginning from the Skopje airport interchange of the M1 Motorway, it connects the aforementioned motorway with the city of Tetovo, forming a partial beltway around Skopje. The Skopje beltway is also part of the M-4 Motorway, which follows another route thereafter. Leaving Skopje, it continues to Tetovo. Gostivar is about 19 km south and it can be easily reached, using the expressway part of the road. This part is just like the rest of the M2, but it does not feature an emergency lane and it does not meet some other motorway requirements.

Future plans

The existing Kičevo - Ohrid single carriageway road will be turned into a motorway with 4 traffic lanes. This section is currently under construction. After completition, it will form part of the M-2.
