Summary

Description
English: On 26 July 2022, the Pelješac Bridge in Croatia was inaugurated. It connects the region of Southern Dalmatia with the rest of the country’s mainland and avoids having to cross the border of the small coastal area that provides Bosnia-Herzegovina with an access to the Mediterranean Sea.

The European Union’s contribution to its construction was pivotal: by allocating €357 million from the Cohesion Policy funds, it stands as the most substantial EU infrastructure investment ever made in Croatia.

The infrastructure is expected to improve the economic development and territorial cohesion of the region of Southern Dalmatia and of Croatia as a whole. In fact, the bridge allows cutting travel time by 37 minutes along the Adriatic coastline, benefitting the lives of local citizens as well as boosting the tourism industry.

The Pelješac Bridge, connecting the two strips of land, is visible in this image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 28 July 2022.
