In pics: Peljesac Bridge under construction in Croatia

Aerial photo taken on March 22, 2019 shows the construction site of the Peljesac Bridge near Komarna, Croatia. The Peljesac Bridge is one of the biggest infrastructure projects in Croatia's history. The bridge will connect the Croatian peninsula Peljesac with the Croatian mainland and therefore bypass a short strip of the neighboring Bosnian coast that interrupts the continuity of Croatian territory. A Chinese consortium led by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) won the bid for the first phase of the bridge and its access roads in January 2018, with a promise to finish the job in 36 months. Construction officially kicked off in late July 2018 and has been progressing well since then. (Xinhua/Gao Lei)
