        Which is kind of a ridiculous thing to spend billions of dollars on, but apparently they really hated going through the crossing. I said that on Reddit and was instantly arguing with the whole nation.

        Anyway, OP just meant that you’d have to go way to west and than way back to the south-east to get from tip to tip.

          As Croatia is EU member, while Bosnia and Herzegovina is not, the transit through the Neum corridor means passing through exterior EU borders twice. Probably not fun and can be very time consuming.

          to spend billions of dollars

          Tbf, it was just some hundred millions.

            My bad, lol! It was also EU funds IIRC, since Croatia asked for it as part of the accession deal.

            B&H is an applicant, though, so theoretically the bridge will be redundant for the vast majority of travelers soon-ish.
