The Krk Bridge (Croatian: Krčki most, formerly Tito’s Bridge) is a two-lane road bridge that connects the island of Krk with the coast near Kraljevica. The length of the bridge with all accesses is 1430 m. Work on the bridge began in July 1976 under the auspices of the President of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz-Tito. The grand opening was on July 19, 1980. The bridge became famous for its concrete arch to the island of Sveti Marko, which was 390 m long (the actual span of the arch is even 416 m, as part of it is below sea level) during construction the longest concrete arch in the world and was 85 m longer than the then longest bridge in Sydney. Before the construction of the bridge, the island was connected to the mainland by ferries on the line Črišnjeva – Voz. Driving across the bridge is charged.

I like bridges. I was not familiar with this one. I like.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Elenka….
I like the bridge but paying for driving is not good
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear friend….as far as payment is concerned, I completely agree …. this is a kind of extortion for me because there is no other way to the island of Krk
Good Infirmation, Thanks for sharing this here.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment…….
Such an impressive bridge, Lado! It is new to me, thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Ellie…..it really is a beautiful bridge
A beautiful bridge. I have already ridden on this bridge.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Vidocka….if you visited the island of Krk or Lošinj then you must have taken this bridge
You are right. I visited Lošinj. So I drove across this bridge.
It looks really magnificent
I agree. But it also looks a little scary.
It’s best to just look straight then it doesn’t look so scary …. but if you look a little left im right it really isn’t the best feeling
that is an amazing picture – i would be nervous driving over that bridge…
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear friend…..in normal weather conditions the ride is fine ….. but a hurricane can blow here …. then the bridge is closed
its funny i have worked on my fear of heights for years. I can now go to the top of a tall building no problem. I can look down from an airplane. But bridges. they still scare me
Each of us has different fears …. just driving across the bridge takes only 5 – 10 minutes …. depending on traffic density
i don’t know why that bothers me. oh well
Things happen to us whose cause we do not know ….. that’s just the way we are, dear friend
Croatia is a lot of tourist attractions worth visiting. I would love to visit this place one day.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Ileana…..is a very interesting country especially in summer because it has many islands

Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Carol….
