I'm a bit dissapointed they didn't show the longest viaduct in Slovenia. Viaduct at Črni Kal which is 1 km long, tallest pillar has almost 90 m of height to the bottom of the valley and definitely a remarkable point going from Koper towards inland ... also quite a scenic view from that area aswell

There seems to be a ferry shown in the background of the Franco Tuđman bridge images. This likely means there will be a ferry connection from there (although, I'm trying to find the entrance to that ferry)

@KoperSLO
It might be a bit of a squeeze to fit that in the gap show on this map, but I think they'll be able to add it in, even if it's shown on the wrong side of the border (Koper already does this). Bear in mind, SCS has to add Kozina in order to link this area to Rijeka via the Croatian border (which we know is coming). I've added a map of what I think that area would look like:

That's gonna be a very tight squeeze if it happens. There's two long tunnels along the way, said bridge, and probably few other things because that motorway looks very scenic, and we have a small gap between A1/H5 intersection that's already mapped, and an semi short unknown bit of A1 south from petrol station near Logatec that's also already mapped (I checked, it's represented almost 1:1, there's no mistake here). Some landmarks will be cut with such short distance to work with, that's for sure.

Nice looking blog pics, sounds like we didn’t get much new road/city information though. I’m out of town but I’ll try to update the screenshot map tomorrow night or Monday

@Aries
I meant the entrance to the ferry itself (which I was able to clearly see from the one in Trieste). Where does the truck embark?
Also, there's another way to get there by turning left after crossing the bridge, then take a hard left turn to follow the shore towards the port (as @Shiva said while I was replying)

Well, if 2011, then here https://www.google.com/maps/@42.6581463 ... 312!8i6656
Is the southern option. I think the northern ramp can be used too, it is north of this one.

It's nice to see that some of the newest bridges will be included. And there also seems to be confirmation that bridges and rivers will also be signposted, following the standards of the Iberia DLC. It's weird that they weren't in the Austria Rework, though...

The only thing I kinda missed to see in the post is the Mostar Bridge, but I'm not sure if it's visible from the nearby truck-able roads in real life.

Regarding Dubrovnik port, I can not see any freight traffic for it, on https://www.freightlink.co.uk/map

Jadrolinija has ferry traffic Bari - Dubrovnik. But I suspect it is not for semi trucks.

And the ship, for that route https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/de ... MARKO_POLO
