The largest infrastructure project in Croatia has fallen victim of the coronavirus. The Pelješac Bridge, which is currently being constructed by China Bridge and Road Company, has been affected by the virus as the factory that produces the steel structures for the bridge has been shut down in China due to the coronavirus.
The virus has paralyzed the whole of China and now the factory where the steel structures are made for the Pelješac Bridge. This however does not mean that work will cease in Croatia, but the question is what will happen when it comes to installing the new structures.
Croatian Roads said the contractor had not asked for an extension of time. The bridge is scheduled to open on July 31, 2021.
“The contractor has previously and in advance taken all necessary measures to prevent the possibility of a potential threat to the construction site. Site protection has been put in place, measures have been taken and implemented in accordance with clear instructions,” commented Croatian Roads, for Dnevnik.hr
