2022Grand Opening of Peljesac Bridge (C) - Set

The Pelješac Bridge is a part of the national road which goes around the Neum Corridor. It is a part of the project called "Road Connection with Southern Dalmatia". The project includes the construction of the bridge, access roads to the bridge as well as the Ston bypass, which has enabled the establishment of a strong road connection between the separated parts of the land territory of the Republic of Croatia. The 32.5 kilometers long two-lane state road connects the far south and is an essential prerequisite for the development of the mainland and islands of the Dubrovnik area. The 2404 meters long Pelješac Bridge is the most challenging part of the project and it crosses a sea strait – the Mali Ston Channel. The project "Road Connection with Southern Dalmatia" is a strategic interest of the Republic of Croatia. It is also located on one of the European transport corridors, therefore it has been largely financed from the EU funds.
