On 27 July 2022, The Pelješac Bridge opened to traffic, enabling Croatia’s southernmost territory to be linked by road with the rest of Croatia. Namely, to reach Dubrovnik-Neretva County from other parts of Croatia it was formerly necessary to pass through the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Neum corridor) which considerably influenced the county’s economy, tourist industry and the accompanying socio-economic indicators.
The 2.4-kilometre Bridge runs along the Mali Ston Bay and together with the construction of the Motorway A1 Zagreb-Split its construction was the largest infrastructure project in the three decades since Croatia gained its independence and a major project funded by the European Union.
