The Bridge of Krk was opened in 1980 and work on it started in July of 1976 but the design dates back to 1960 and if we consider the ideas in the years that have followed we have to go back at least until 1918 when city of Rijeka was under Italy.
After several projects came in a concrete, bridge from the mainland is supported at small island of San Marco, continue and reach the island of Krk. The bridge is 1430 meters long and the arc is wider along 390 meters. In addition to maintaining the bridge might be closed because of wind gusts, in 1987 there was a flurry of bora of 220 kilometers per hour.

The Krk Bridge was a great success, not only the design and construction but also for the benefits it has brought to the community that resides on the island. It is estimated that the ferry, used before the bridge was constructed, carrying up to 400,000 vehicles each year while the bridge about 1 million a year. By then the tourism made that the numbers of passing vehicles have increased exponentially. By then the tourism made that the numbers of passing vehicles have increased exponentially.
