The Limeni Most (Sheet Metal Bridge)

The Limeni Most (Sheet Metal Bridge) was hastily constructed as a wire rope bridge shortly after the destruction of the Kamenica Bridge in 1993. Its name originates from the metal sheets used to pave its surface. The primary objective was to restore communication between the two sides of the Neretva River. However, despite its initial purpose, the bridge faced significant challenges, particularly during the winter months when the river's water level rose. Its insufficient height rendered it impractical for long-term use, leading to the need for a more viable solution. Ultimately, the construction of the Tenzin Bridge, situated several metres upstream, provided more permanent and efficient river crossing.
