March 5, 2023 - Good news for traffic in Omis - the bridge over the Cetina is finally connected.
It has been a good 12 months for bridge enthusiasts in Dalmatia.
Firstly, the opening of the much-anticipated Peljesac Bridge connecting the mainland to the Peljesac Peninsula, thereby bypassing the need to transit Bosnia and Hercegovina on the way from Split to Dubrovnik. The Chinese-made bridge has been a big initial success.
And now, another milestone, and there can't be many better examples of a bridge with a view than the recently connected bridge over the River Cetina.
The Omis bypass road project will alleviate the considerable traffic problems along the coastal road from Split to Omis. It includes the construction of the Stobrec, Dugi Rat, Omi's fast road, as well as this 216-metre bridge connecting two tunnels.
The bypass is expected to be fully open by the end of 2025, and it will make a considerable difference to the traffic flow, particularly in Omis, which is a bottleneck in the season.
