Renovations and reconstructions of ferry ports along the Croatian coast in process
During the last years, ferry ports are being renovated along the Croatian coast. Winter is always a good time to modernize the infrastructure and upgrade the tourist offer. Current renovations are mostly taking place in the area of Rijeka and Kvarner.
A large project for reconstruction Rijeka port is underway
The Port of Rijeka Authority has been approved non-refundable financing for the preparation of project documentation for the reconstruction of Prag pier, in the amount of 1.8 million euros.
The renovation will include the construction of a new port area in the Rijeka basin and the separation of the port warehouse complex, the so-called Metropolis, from the port area and their conversion for public and business purposes, with the Port Authority handing over the area to the City of Rijeka.
The total estimated value of the project documentation is EUR 3.6 million, half of which is provided by grants from the Connecting Europe Facility.
The plan is to construct transport infrastructure, as part of the already existing project of building a road that will connect the container terminal on the Zagreb coast and the D-403 road with the Rijeka port basin. Also, the plan is to construct a pedestrian bridge from Krešimirova to Metropolis, over the railway tracks.
With the project of building a new operational shore in the port of Rijeka at Prague pier, on the sea between Visinovo pier and Bratislava shore, the port of Rijeka will get approximately 50 000 m2 of a new multi-purpose terminal.
