"The Peljesac Bridge is finally complete and open! (It opened in July 2022.) Bypassing the need to drive through that part of Bosnia & Hercegovina (often referred to as the Neum Corridor) when travelling from Split to Dubrovnik or vice versa, the bridge certainly makes travel along the coastline easier for many visitors to Croatia. Here are all the details about this new bridge."
The travelers no longer have to wait in line at two border controls.

It cost 525m Euro ($531m) and has a clearance of 55m (180'). [cnn]

The red boundary lines show how Bosnia separates the southern part of Croatia from the rest of the country. And this image also shows how this bridge allows the use of the peninsula to go around Bosnia.
