Did You Know?
Twin Crossings
There are two distinct bridges known as 'Maslenica Bridge' spanning the Novsko Ždrilo strait: the older, red steel arch bridge (rebuilt after war) and the newer, concrete arch bridge on the A1 highway.
Wartime Destruction
The original Maslenica Bridge (the older, red one) was strategically destroyed in 1993 during the Croatian War of Independence, severing a vital transport link between northern and southern Croatia.
Rapid Rebuild
After its destruction, the original Maslenica Bridge was remarkably rebuilt and reopened in just 22 months, restoring crucial connectivity by 1995.
Highway Connection
The newer Maslenica Bridge, a prominent concrete arch structure, is an integral part of Croatia's A1 highway, connecting the capital Zagreb with the southern coast.
