Bridge in Trogir Recognized as Stunning Global Achievement of 2025
In the heart of Dalmatia, Croatia, a modern marvel has emerged, connecting the island of Čiovo to the mainland and relieving traffic transit pressure from the historic town of Trogir. Known as the Most na Čiovo, or Čiovo Bridge, this impressive lift-bridge was completed in 2025 and has been hailed as one of the most significant international projects of the year[1].
Key features of the Trogir (Čiovo) bridge include:
- Type: Modern lift-bridge, enabling both road traffic and the passage of vessels by lifting the central span.
- Location: Connects the island of Čiovo to the Croatian mainland, facilitating smoother transportation and easing congestion in Trogir.
- Impact: It relieves the traffic burden in the historic old town of Trogir, preserving its cultural and architectural heritage.
- Strategic importance: Supports local infrastructure by improving connectivity between island communities and the mainland, fostering regional development and tourism.
The architectural studio responsible for the design of the Trogir bridge is Prostorne taktike based in Split[2]. Remarkably, the project was completed in an impressive eight months[1].
The Trogir bridge, with its steel structure and light parabolic shape, has received a prestigious international award in the field of architecture and engineering[1]. The award was presented at the NCE Bridges Conference and Awards in London. The bridge spans a length of 30 metres, is 10 metres wide, and stands four metres high, with a total weight of 65 tonnes[1].
Despite the Trogir region being rich in cultural heritage, with landmarks like the Trogir cathedral and medieval stone bridges, the new Čiovo bridge stands out as a critical modern infrastructure advancement contributing to the area's accessibility and economic growth[1][2].
Investigations reveal that no other international bridge project named explicitly "Trogir bridge" with a different or more expansive international profile was found among the 2025 award shortlists or cultural tourism descriptions[1]. It appears that the Most na Čiovo is indeed the key structure referred to for Trogir in 2025.
For those seeking further details on engineering specifics, dimensions, contractors, or artistic features of the Most na Čiovo bridge, specialized sources would be required beyond the provided context.

This modern infrastructure, the Trogir bridge, not only offers a seamless connection between the Croatian mainland and Čiovo island, making transportation smoother and alleviating traffic in Trogir, but it also enhances the local lifestyle and home-and-garden scene by promoting regional development and tourism. The steel and light parabolic structure of the Trogir bridge, spanning 30 metres and standing four metres high, was awarded for its architectural and engineering excellence, making it a key attraction in the Trogir region.
