The Limeni Most (Sheet Metal Bridge) was hastily constructed as a wire rope bridge shortly after the destruction of the Kamenica Bridge in 1993. Its name originates from the metal sheets used to pave its surface. The primary objective was to restore communication between the two sides of the Neretva River. However, despite its initial purpose, the bridge faced significant challenges, particularly during the winter months when the river's water level rose. Its insufficient height rendered it impractical for long-term use, leading to the need for a more viable solution. Ultimately, the construction of the Tenzin Bridge, situated several metres upstream, provided more permanent and efficient river crossing.

Archival and post-war visual documents of the Bunur Bridge. The Bunur Bridge was constructed in 1993 amid the widespread destruction of the city of Mostar. As all previous bridges had been demolished, citizens resorted to using improvised pontoon passages across the river. Testimonies suggest that these pontoons were not stable enough, prompting the need for building a sturdy bridge from available materials. The construction utilised sunshade metal structures taken from the terrace of nearby Hotel Energoinvest building and paved with wooden planks. The bridge served successfully as a passage during wartime. After the war ended, the present-day pedestrian The Bunur Bridge was built on the same location. The remnants of the original bridge can still be found at the bottom of the Neretva River bed.
