Peljesac Bridge to be completed by June 2022: Croatian PM

A crane carries a steel box girder to connect the Croatian mainland with the first sea-based pillar of the Peljesac Bridge near Komarna, Croatia, Feb. 15, 2021. The construction of the Peljesac Bridge, the biggest infrastructure project in Croatia, will be completed in June 2022, Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic announced on Monday after visiting the site. 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. Eighty-five percent of its total cost is provided by the European Union. (Ivo Cagalj/Pixsell via Xinhua)
