Franjo Tuđman Bridge

Construction of the bridge started in October 1998. The construction works were carried out by Walter Bau AG and Konstruktor, Split.Construction was completed in April 2002, and the bridge was officially opened on May 21, 2002. The bridge construction costs were reportedly 252 million Croatian kuna (c. US$31 million) making Franjo Tuđman Bridge the most expensive bridge in Croatia.

Was brilliant to drive over such a beautiful view I got to other side and walked over it too 🥰

Beautiful views from the bridge as far as the eye can see! You can pull over and park for free on the side and safely get out and walk on the sides for photos of the magnificent views on either side! Beautiful architecture!

Our small cruise parked us right under this bridge. Honestly it's a good location for that, you can tell any cab/Uber driver in town, The Bridge, and they will know exactly where to take you. As far as the bridge itself, it's pretty cool architecture with all kinds of views from around the city. I'm not sure it's worth a visit to it, but it is worth a pic or two.

Nice bridge.
