Damage to the bridge has stopped traffic in both directions between Stara Gradiška and Gradiška. A new crossing at Gornji Varoš has been open since 19 May and takes the traffic.

Checked: 16 August 2026

Traffic between the border crossings Stara Gradiška on the Croatian side and Gradiška on the Bosnian side is interrupted in both directions because of damage to the bridge. The alternative is the crossing at Gornji Varoš, open since 19 May, a few kilometres away on the same stretch of the Sava.

If your navigation app still routes you to Stara Gradiška, it has not caught up. Set the destination to the Gornji Varoš crossing manually, or check the live border situation before you leave, because the automobile club updates it through the day.
