Ždrelac Bridge, Through arch bridge in Zadar archipelago, Croatia

Ždrelac Bridge is a steel structure in the Zadar archipelago that spans 210 meters between Ugljan and Pašman islands. The center arch extends 68 meters, creating a wide deck designed for vehicle traffic.

The bridge was built in 1972 to finally connect the two islands with a direct route. A major renovation occurred in 2009, when engineers reinforced the structure and widened the deck.

The bridge connects two islands that were once isolated, allowing residents to visit each other and maintain a shared community life. People use it daily to reach jobs, schools, and family on either side.

The bridge is part of the D110 state road and provides a smooth crossing for cars and small trucks. The best time to cross is early morning or late afternoon, when traffic is lighter.

The 2009 reconstruction replaced three spans with a single 68-metre steel arch and widened the deck to 11.8 metres. The works, which also strengthened the piers under the central arch, were carried out by Konstruktor of Split at a reported cost of 17.17 million Croatian kuna.
