It will finally connect Croatian territory

With the installation of the last, 165th segment of the steel span of the Peljesac Bridge on Wednesday evening, the bridge will be finally joined together from Komarna to Brijesta and provide a long-awaited road link between the southernmost part of Croatia with the rest of the country.

Work on the 2.4-kilometer bridge, connecting Croatia’s Peljesac peninsula with the mainland to bypass a short stretch of the Bosnian coastline at the town of Neum started three years ago.

 The project is worth €550 million, although most of the funding – €357 million – came from the European Union.
