The demolished railway bridge over the Neretva River, next to the Museum, is the central content of the Battle of Neretva memorial complex. The bridge is the most important witness to the events of 1943, because it was at that place that the fateful crossing took place, and thus the rescue of the partisans and the central hospital, which at that time numbered close to 4,000 wounded.

The bridge was built at the end of the 19th century and was an integral part of the narrow-gauge railway that connected the interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Adriatic Sea. This bridge was demolished by the order of Josip Broz Tito, at the beginning of March 1943, as part of a tactical deception aimed at deceiving the enemy about the direction of movement of partisans and wounded.

A few days later, on the site of the demolished bridge, the engineering company of the Supreme Headquarters of the People's Liberation Army built a wooden improvised bridge over which partisans, wounded and refugees crossed the Neretva. After that, the wooden structure was destroyed.

When the Germans arrived in Jablanica a few days late, they began building a new bridge on the site of the demolished one. They needed a bridge because they needed a railroad. That bridge was completed during 1943 and existed until 1968. During this period, there was still a narrow-gauge railway, which was used by the old steam locomotive, which is still at the Museum's memorial complex.

During the shooting of the film Battle of Neretva in 1968, directed by Veljko Bulajić, for the purpose of film reconstruction of this event, the bridge was demolished again in the same way as in 1943 - by planting explosives. The film crew agreed to build a new road bridge instead of the old bridge, a little upstream the river, and earlier, in 1966, electrified railway was built on the new route so the old bridge no longer had a basic function.

As part of the construction of the memorial complex Battle of Neretva in 1978, the central place of the complex was the demolished bridge, and it was revitalized to symbolize the demolition of the bridge in 1943, but also to cross it to the other bank of the Neretva and thus experiencing the significance and meaning of the Battle of Neretva.

This bridge was damaged again in the flood wave in 1991, the Neretva River  took away the lower structure of the bridge, and after a series of unsuccessful attempts to provide funds, in 2022, the reconstruction of the bridge was completed according to the 1978 project.
