Reconstruction of the Đurđevića Tara Bridge in Montenegro is set to significantly extend its lifespan, according to the Ministry of Transport.
Transport Minister Maja Vukićević and Director of the Directorate for Transport Radomir Vuksanović inspected the ongoing works on the bridge, one of Montenegro’s most important engineering landmarks.
The €6.64 million project is funded through a donation from the People’s Republic of China and executed by the Chinese company Shandong Luqiao Group in cooperation with local partners. Work began in July, with an expected completion timeline of eight months.
Minister Vukićević emphasized the bridge’s cultural and historical significance, describing it as a symbol of Montenegro and a testament to local engineering expertise. Director Vuksanović highlighted that the project aims to preserve the bridge’s authenticity while extending its operational life for decades.
The project also includes improvements to the access roads on both sides of the bridge and the construction of a new parking area. The bridge spans the Tara River canyon on the Pljevlja–Žabljak highway.
