Ilok–Bačka Palanka Bridge

The 825-meter bridge crosses the Danube River at kilometer 1297, connecting the eastern tip of Croatia with the northern region of Serbia.

The structure, inaugurated in 1974, sustained damage during the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia and reopened in 2002 after extensive reconstruction.

The bridge bears the name '25 May' in several languages, marking a connection to the birthday of former Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito.

This crossing point serves as the terminal location for Croatian route D2 and connects to Serbian road M18, supporting regional transportation networks.

An additional land crossing exists near the bridge, leading to the village of Neštin, providing alternative routes for travelers between both countries.
