Pelješac bridge – design and maintenance

The Pelješac Bridge is currently the largest bridge under construction in Croatia, but also in the region. The construction began in July 2018 (for the second time), and the bridge should be completed in 36 months. The design of the bridge began in 2004. Through preliminary studies, preliminary designs and main designs the various types of bridges were considered. The bridge is located in the high-activity seismic zone with strong winds, extremely adverse foundation soil conditions and in aggressive maritime environment. The multi-span extradosed semi-integral bridge with steel deck was finally chosen for main design and construction. The history of design, the final design and the maintenance of the bridge will be presented in the paper.
