Pelješac Bridge

The Pelješac Bridge spans 2404 meters across the Adriatic Sea, connecting mainland Croatia with the Pelješac peninsula through six main pylons.

Construction began in July 2018 after two decades of planning, with the bridge finally opening to traffic on July 26, 2022.

The bridge represents Croatian territorial connectivity, eliminating the need to cross Bosnia and Herzegovina's Neum corridor when traveling to southern Dalmatia.

The structure rises 55 meters above sea level and includes a 23.6-meter-wide roadway that accommodates four traffic lanes and maintenance paths.

The China Road and Bridge Corporation constructed this engineering project, which became Croatia's largest bridge funded at 85% by the European Union.
