Until recently, reaching the cut-off corner of Croatia we see in the distance required doubling around a long, narrow bay, plus a double border crossing at the Herzegovinian coastal strip of Neum. That potentially hours-long ordeal is cut to about a 5-minute drive by the Pelješac Bridge, which spans roughly a mile and a half across this Adriatic inlet. The project was a political hot potato for years due to its potential limiting of shipping to Neum. But the pro-bridge crowd won out in the end, and the span was completed in 2022, recording 2 million crossings in its first year.
令人叹息的景观
自然之州
布达佩斯的黄昏
为国王而建
一座被诅咒的桥？
一座勇敢城市的巨大“竖琴”
焕然一新的遗迹
不通往任何地方的桥梁？
