One of the most significant structures on Corridor 5C through Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Pocitelj bridge, has cracked, but according to the public company Motorways of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the stability of the bridge is not threatened.

“Regarding the bridge, we can say that some unforeseen circumstances occurred during the execution of the works, and that works on its rehabilitation are ongoing. It is important that the stability of the bridge is not threatened, and that it will not have permanent consequences”, the company told N1.

The largest bridge on Corridor 5C, in Pocitelj, was connected a month ago, on July 6. It is over 100m high and almost a kilometer long.

“Today's connection of the Pocitelj bridge can be seen as the beginning of a more active, dynamic period ahead of us, in which we aim to intensify the construction of the highway in Herzegovina. With the imminent completion of activities on the Pocitelj – Zvirovici section and the start of construction work on the Prenj tunnel and the Mostar north – Mostar south section and the Kvanj – Buna tunnel, which we plan to contract this year, we are opening up new perspectives for the business community and raising the economic potential of this part of Bosnia to a higher level and Herzegovina”, was what Denis Lasic, acting director of public company, said at the time.
