D404 is a state road connecting A7 motorway Draga interchange[1] to the eastern part of the city of Rijeka, and to the Port of Rijeka, Brajdica container cargo terminal.[2] The road is 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long, and 60% of the route is carried by various structures, such as tunnels and viaducts.[3][4] The road is nearly completed, although it is not yet open for regular traffic, as it still requires installation of road equipment and signage. The road opening suffered from a number of delays, even though associated construction works were virtually complete for a long time.[5] In the meantime, the road was used as a parking space.[6] Finally, on May 30, 2011, the D404 road was open to traffic considerably enhancing access to Brajdica and eastern parts of Rijeka.[7]

A connection to Rijeka Tower Centre is also provided from the road (northbound only), from within Pećine Tunnel.[8][9]

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, state owned company.[10]
