The viaduct Modruš 1 is the first and longest in the row of three viaducts of the same name on the Ogulin-Brinje road section of the highway A1 Zagreb-Split-Dubrovnik. It is located near the settlement and the ruins of the old town of Modruš and crosses a deep valley at a height of 50 m (164 ft). Its total length is 516 m (1,693 ft) and its width is 31.5 m (103.35 ft). The viaduct consists of 13 sections, and its project was carried out by IGH-Institute for Concrete and Masonry Structures; its designers were Gordana Trogrlić-Uzelac, Stjepan Kralj and Petar Sésar. It was opened to traffic in 2005 on the occasion of the inauguration of the A1 Zagreb-Split motorway.
