Works on Peljesac Bridge to be completed this month, PM says

There are ten more days' work on the bridge and a peak traffic test is planned for the end of the month, to be followed by technical checks, he added.

"As announced, the construction of Peljesac Bridge will near completion by the end of January 2022."

He said the construction of access roads by Austria's Strabag and Greece's Avax was "coming along" and that they were expected to "be near completion in May and June," while the completion of a road near Ston "should follow in early autumn."

"That's what's good at the moment, but this means that it will be possible to drive across Peljesac Bridge this tourist season, which means without crossing borders and the congestion in Neum," Plenkovic said, adding that thereby Croatia was becoming "a propulsive auto destination, which is extremely important in 2022."
