Peljesac Bridge under construction near Komarna, Croatia

Photo taken on Oct. 20, 2020 shows the Peljesac Bridge under construction near Komarna, Croatia. Crossing the Mali Ston Bay over the Adriatic Sea, the 2.4-kilometer-long Peljesac Bridge connects Croatia's southernmost Dubrovnik-Neretva County to the rest of the mainland, giving the southeastern European country a continuous land link that bypasses foreign territory. A Chinese consortium led by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) won the bid for the first phase of the bridge and its access roads in January 2018, with a promise to finish the job in 36 months. Construction officially kicked off in late July 2018 and has been progressing well since then. (Milan Sabic/Pixsell via Xinhua)
