The works on the Peljesac Bridge are nearing completion. All works should be completed by the end of the month, followed by a technical inspection and the issuance of a use permit.
Hrvatske Ceste says that a fence for wind protection is being erected on both sides of the bridge and a protective, repellent fence on the inside.
Inside the bridge, inspection paths are being installed, drainage is being arranged, cable shelves for installations are being installed, and the waterproofing of the inspection path is also being worked on.
Works on casting asphalt on both sidewalks of the bridge were completed in November 2021.
A wearing layer of asphalt will be laid this month. Preparations have also begun for the technical inspection of the Peljesac Bridge.
The specificity of the Pelješac Bridge project is the concrete that was installed, which has a strength that has not been realized in any project of this kind in Croatia and is designed to ensure the durability of steel load-bearing structure for 105 years.

The Peljesac Bridge is part of a project that includes the construction of a bridge with access roads and the construction of the Ston bypass, so a total of 32.5 kilometers of new state roads are being built.
The construction of the new road is divided into three contracts for the construction of the bridge and access roads and two contracts for power supply and equipment, the first of which will be the completion of the bridge.
The launch of the Pelješac Bridge and part of the access roads to the Ston bond is planned just before the start of the summer tourist season, sometime in June 2022.
