Peljesac Bridge ready by the Summer 2009 according to local Press.
BRIDGE’S PILLARS ARE HIGHER THAN ZAGREB CATHEDRAL
The first meeting of Croatian bridge-builders, met yesterday on Brijuni islands, it was presented, amongst other things discussed was mainland-peninsula Peljesa bridge project . Discussing this were Jure Radic, together with, Zlatko Savor and Ana Mandic, designer of bridge.
INVESTIGATING SOIL
“This final design of “Bridge Klek – Peljesac” has been created after detailed studies of about 20 variations. We believe that the building of this bridge is going to be the biggest example of Croatian bridge building. It will be similar to Greece’s Rion – Antirion Bridge but ours with 2.5 km length is bigger. It can be compared with bridge Millau in France, which cost of about 320 million euros but ours is more challenging, as Millau wasn’t build over the sea. Jure Radic is saying also that the investor, Croatian Roads, was presented 10 solutions and the chosen one is economically most favourable. The cost of any of these solutions were somewhere between 200 and 450 million euros, the actual one will cost 250 million. The Director of building will be Dominik Brigovic, who was director of Tudman bridge over Rijeka dubrovacka. (From that one parts are falling off.!) The biggest problem might be bad base soil that is now in process of investigation, and also difficulties of working under sea. Every pillar will be approximately as high as the Zagreb cathedral.”
13 PILLARS
13 pillars each higher then 100 metres will hold the bridge. Two thirds of the complete cost of building incurred by the challenging work under the sea – says Radic. The Contract for building is signed and should be with investors before Christmas. Beginning of works is scheduled for spring and would last for 3 to 4 years. This bridge will affirm the reputation of Croatian bridge building. Croatia is famous in the world with Krk bridge due to it’s concrete arch, there are 20 of these type in the world, and six of them are in Croatia – says Radic.
Translation from Dogadaji newspaper-July 2005
Important news for property purchasers in Dalmatia-this bridge built as part of the new motorway system will invigorate this entire area. Both Split and Dubrovnik airports will be easily commutable. This will make the Peljesac Peninsula even more popular and open up the island of Korcula .
Best Wishes
