Croatian road operator Hrvatske Ceste signed a €269m contract with China Road and Bridge Corporation to construct the Peljesac Bridge. Construction is scheduled to take three and a half years. The 2.4 km bridge will connect the Croatian peninsula of Peljesac with the mainland. China Road and Bridge Corporation is a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company, which builds bridges, ports and highways.
“This is a project that makes Croatia unique. This project is of strategic, long-term importance to the whole country. We are all aware of how important it is to build in this bridge and thus include the south of Croatia into the motorway infrastructure network. This is important for all our fellow citizens in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County,” said Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic.
