It is on the pan-European Vc corridor route between Budapest via Osijek and Sarajevo to the Croatian seaport in Ploče.
The bridge was formally opened at a ceremony at which European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and Bosnia and Herzegovina's Prime Minister Zoran Tegeltija together cut the red ribbon.
The six-lane bridge is 29 metre wide.
The construction of the bridge started in 2016, and was completed in 2020.
This was a joint €23.4 million investment of Croatia's HAC motorway operator and the relevant authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the project was financed by Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina at a ratio of 50:50 with 58% of Croatia's share part being covered by EU funds from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
Croatia ensured a grant amounting to almost €7 million from the Connecting Europe Facility for its half (€11.7 million).
The bridge was built in compliance with the bilateral treaty between the Croatian and Bosnian governments.
