SPLIT, 28 August 2026 – The city of Split is preparing a major new urban mobility system that will introduce more than 1,300 new parking spaces and provide new options for reaching the city centre without a car.
The €80 million project, presented by Split Mayor Tomislav Šuta and city officials, includes two major schemes – Park & Ride Lovrinac and Park & Walk Turska kula.
Together, the projects will provide 1,317 new parking spaces – 723 at Lovrinac and 594 at Turska kula.
The facilities will also include dedicated spaces for buses and taxis, electric vehicle charging points, car-sharing facilities, and infrastructure for public bicycles and e-bikes.
The city says the aim is to allow drivers to leave their cars before reaching the central areas of Split and continue their journey by public transport, bicycle or on foot.
Turska kula is planned as an important point for managing traffic before it enters the city centre. The project also includes a connection between Put Glavičina and Put Supavla, improving transport links in the area.
At Lovrinac, the new parking facility will be accompanied by reconstruction of Lovrinačka ulica and Put groblja. The location is expected to help reduce traffic pressure at the eastern entrance to the city, including around KBC Split and nearby administrative centres.
The wider mobility system will include new cycling routes towards Split’s historic centre, the introduction of electric buses, and a digital Split Mobility Pass intended to bring parking and public transport services together.

The City of Split says it has secured €64.8 million in EU grant funding for the projects, meaning the investment will not require new borrowing by the city.
Public procurement is expected to begin in mid-September 2026, with the first construction works planned after the summer season in 2027.
City officials say the projects are intended to address traffic congestion while reducing pressure on Split’s historic centre and improving sustainable transport options.
