Brčko is a border crossing over the Sava between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, an Austro-Hungarian-era bridge connecting the town of Brčko with the Croatian village of Gunja. Since January 2019, when inspections found fatigue damage, compromised structural integrity and reduced load capacity, only vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes have been allowed across — heavier trucks and buses are redirected to the Županja–Orašje crossing and others further down the Sava. Because of the bridge's poor condition, the crossing has at times been closed to traffic entirely, reopening only after repair work, still under the same 3.5-tonne limit. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia have agreed to build an entirely new bridge, slightly south of the existing one, intended to open up northeastern Bosnia, Brčko and Bijeljina to the European transport corridor. Until that project is finished, this remains a bottleneck for freight on this stretch of the border, even though passenger cars still cross without issue.
