Pelješac Bridge Progress – Construction Updates (chronology – descending):

  • February 2021 – As announced from Hrvatske ceste, the Pelješac bridge is connected to the mainland. The first pillar in the sea and the one on land in Komarna are connected by a 52 meters long steel span structure. From now on, the Pelješac bridge can be walked for the first fifty meters. The first passengers and vehicles could cross at the beginning of next year (2022) while the complete project of the bridge with access roads, viaducts, and tunnels is planned to be completed by summer 2022.
  • October 2020 – The plans are changed, as a temporary solution in order to enable the construction of the Brijesta junction immediately after the completion of the bridge itself, to put into operation a bridge with a connection to the existing Pelješac road before the completion of access roads.
