The bridge was originally built during the Austro-Hungarian administration to facilitate trade and transport between the city's growing commercial districts.
It is locally referred to as the Carinski Bridge due to its proximity to the old customs house site.
The current structure is a reinforced concrete bridge, a significant departure from the stone masonry typical of the older Ottoman-era bridges nearby.
It remains one of the few locations in Mostar where both commercial vehicular traffic and pedestrians cross the Neretva concurrently.
Lučki most, also known as the Carinski Bridge, is a vital concrete arch bridge spanning the Neretva River in Mostar. It serves as a primary link between the city's eastern and western sectors, significantly reducing traffic congestion around the historic Stari Most. Originally constructed in 1913, the bridge underwent reconstruction following damage sustained during the 1990s conflict. It provides essential panoramic vistas of the Old Town and the iconic Stari Most from a different vantage point than the pedestrian-heavy historic center. The structure features modern engineering while maintaining a functional aesthetic that characterizes the city's post-war infrastructure. It is located in the Stari Pazar district, providing a bridge between the local residential areas and the main tourist zones.
