D404 is a state road connecting A7 motorway Draga interchange to the eastern part of the city of Rijeka, and to the Port of Rijeka, container cargo terminal. 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. The road opening had a number of delays, even though associated construction works were virtually complete for a long time. In the meantime, the road was used as a parking space. Finally, on May 30, 2011, the D404 road was open to traffic considerably enhancing access to Brajdica and eastern parts of Rijeka. Approximately two thirds of the road are classified as an expressway with 3 lanes, although the section between Vežica and Draga interchanges has 4 lanes.
