About the Stara Gradiška / Bosanska Gradiška crossing
Stara Gradiška / Bosanska Gradiška is among the busiest crossings between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. A bridge over the Sava links the Croatian village of Stara Gradiška with the town of Gradiška — still widely called Bosanska Gradiška — on the Bosnian bank. The Croatian side lies only a few kilometres from the Okučani interchange of the A3/E70 Zagreb–Lipovac motorway, while on the Bosnian side a motorway covers the roughly forty kilometres to Banja Luka, making this the principal gateway between Zagreb and the Banja Luka region.
Cars, buses and heavy freight all funnel through here, with pronounced peaks in summer and around holidays when diaspora families travel between Western Europe and Bosnia. As an external Schengen border since 2023, it applies full passport and customs checks. In December 2025 a new crossing opened just outside town at Gornji Varoš, over a new 430-metre motorway bridge tied directly into the A3 — it is steadily taking over long-distance and truck traffic and easing pressure on the old town bridge.
Practical tips
- Long-distance and freight drivers should consider the new motorway crossing at Gornji Varoš, opened in late 2025.
- Expect full external Schengen checks; queues swell on summer weekends and public holidays.
- The heatmap above shows the quietest hours to cross — worth a look before you go.
How to read this page
Each square is one day and hour. Green is a short wait (30 min or less), yellow is medium (up to 90), red is long. Grey squares have no reports yet. The big number is the usual wait in minutes; the small number is how many reports it is based on. Faded squares have very few reports, so treat them with caution.
We show two numbers. The usual wait (‘Typically’) is the middle of what people report — a normal day. The busy-day number (‘up to’) is how bad it can get. If you can’t be late, plan for the busy-day number.
The 2-hour window when waits are usually shortest. Arrive near its start for the best chance of a quick crossing. The per-day cards show the same for each weekday.
Reports come in through the day. The Last reporting card at the top shows the latest one. Recent reports count a little more than old ones, and anything based on very few reports is faded — treat it with caution.
Wait times for Croatia → Bosnia and Herzegovina and the opposite direction are tracked separately and often differ significantly. Use the link at the top of the page to switch to the reverse crossing.
Public holidays, seasonal traffic, and road works can shift wait times well outside historical norms. These statistics reflect past patterns — always check current conditions before you travel.
Tap the filter header to expand or collapse the filter panel. Use the period presets — 30 days, 90 days, seasons, All time, or a custom date range — for quick access to different windows. Select specific days of the week or times of day to further narrow your analysis. Default is the current season, all days, all hours.
