From the mainland of Croatia we drove over the Pag Bridge, which is called Paški Most in Croatian. The bridge is 301 meters long and 9 meters wide and has a 201 meter long arch at an altitude of 35 meters above the Adriatic Sea. Due to its location, it has to deal with strong gusts of wind, especially during the so-called Bora, a cutting cold wind that occurs in this region. During its construction, it stormed for 4 months with wind-forces of 8 on the Scale of Beaufort. The bridge was opened on 17 November 1968, and has since proved to be an important and useful part of the infrastructure for the development of the island Pag.
