The construction of the Pelješac bridge is a capital project of the Republic of Croatia with the support of the EU, thus realizing the long-standing plan of establishing a strong road connection of all parts of Croatian territory. Prior to the construction of the Pelješac Bridge, the land of the territory of the Republic of Croatia was separated, which belongs to neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina, and on a road distance of 9.25 kilometers had to cross the state border twice, which during the summer months due to the tourist season led to large traffic jams. The separation of state territory has made it difficult to invest in infrastructure in the south, and economic and tourism progress has been slow. The construction of the bridge with the accompanying infrastructure will enable the road connection of the previously separated land parts of the Croatian territory. The Pelješac Bridge is one of four phases of a much larger and more complex project called ""Road Connection with Southern Dalmatia"". As part of this project, a total of 32.53 kilometers of roads will be built with accompanying facilities (viaducts, bridges, tunnels, underpasses, rest areas and reservoirs). The goals that will be achieved by this project are to increase the level of transport system service and traffic safety and to shorten road travel between northern and southern Croatia.
The paper provides an overview of all details of planned and constructed sections according to the main project of the Pelješac bridge and its access roads, the process of structural design of pavement structure with reference to the program of quality control and quality assurance of materials and works.
