History
editThe road was initially built as a single connector route between the A1 and the Port of Ploče, at the time designated as part ofA10.[5] Thedual carriagewaypart of the route was built in two phases, the first between finished in December 2008,[2]and the second in December 2013.[1]The dual carriageway extends from Karamatići to the Radonjić Viaduct.[5]
Under the current official road classification, as of 2016[update],the D425 ends at the toll station, while the continuation of the road to the north, a 6.6 km (4.1 mi) expressway connector from the Karamatići toll plaza to the A1 Ploče interchange,[6]is not classified as part of the D425.[3]It is instead tolled as part of the A1 system, and it includes the Mali Prolog viaduct (278m), the Mali Prolog tunnel (1029/1092m), the Kobiljača tunnel (769m), the Brečići-Struge viaduct (598m), the Puljani tunnel (320m), and the Kula viaduct (448m).[6][7]
Traffic volume
editRoad traffic in Croatia is regularly counted and reported byHrvatske ceste,the operator of the road. The traffic entering D425 specifically is counted byCroatian Motorways Ltdat the Karamatići entrance.[8]
Substantial variations between annual (AADT) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the road serves as a connection to theA1 motorwayand theD8 state roadcarrying substantial tourist traffic.
