Paški most, Road bridge in Zadar County, Croatia.
Description
Paški most is a concrete road bridge extending 301 meters and connecting Cape Oštroljak to Cape Fortica at around 30 meters above sea level. The structure uses multiple arches to span the strait and carry traffic between the island and the mainland.
History
The bridge opened in November 1968, replacing the ferry system that had been the main link between Pag and the mainland for generations. This change ended the era of boat transportation and made land travel the standard way to reach the island.
Culture
The bridge marks a turning point in how islanders relate to the mainland, transforming Pag from an isolated community into a place where people move freely between two worlds.
Practical
The bridge carries traffic year-round, though strong winds from the Velebit mountains can occasionally slow or halt vehicles. Drivers should exercise caution during bad weather and watch for wind warnings.
Did you know?
The first vehicle to cross the bridge was driven by Ivo Festini Madona, a shepherd from Pag, a detail that connects the structure to local island life. This moment captures how the bridge became woven into the community's everyday story.
