STORYLINE:
The China-constructed Peljesac Bridge in Croatia has been successfully completed and will soon be open to traffic.
The Peljesac Bridge, 2.4-km long and 55-meter high, is designed to link the mainland of Croatia with its southernmost Dubrovnik-Neretva County, crossing the Mali Ston Bay over the Adriatic Sea and bypassing foreign territory.
In January 2018, a Chinese consortium led by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) won the bid for the first phase of the Peljesac Bridge and its access roads.
It is the biggest transportation infrastructural project between the two countries since they forged diplomatic ties 30 years ago. Once completed, the bridge can potentially cut a three-hour journey to just two to three minutes.
