How much did Pelješac Bridge cost to build?

The Pelješac Bridge is the 2.4 kilometre cable-stayed bridge across the Adriatic Sea that links the Croatian mainland to the Pelješac peninsula, bypassing a short stretch of Bosnia and Herzegovina's coast. It was built by a consortium led by China Road and Bridge Corporation, with construction starting in July 2018, and it opened to traffic on 26 July 2022. A Croatian official quoted by China's State Council Information Office put the cost of the bridge with access roads at 525 million euros, of which 357 million euros are European Union grants.
