Croatia bridge project underway again

Construction work is underway once more for Croatia’s Peljesac Bridge project. The 2.4km bridge is being built by Chinese contractor 3366 China Road and Bridge Corporation. The structure should be complete in 2021 and is expected to cost €420 million, of which €357 million is being provided by the European Community. When complete, the bridge will connect the Croatian mainland with the Peljesac Peninsula. This will improve transport in the country as it will provide a direct route between Dubrovnik and the rest of Croatia. Work was previously halted on the bridge in 2007.
