Ada Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge across Sava River in Belgrade, Serbia.
Description
Ada Bridge crosses the Sava River with a length of approximately 1 km and is supported by a single pylon standing 200 m tall. The structure combines steel cables and concrete to provide six traffic lanes, two railway tracks, and separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
History
An architect first planned a bridge at this location back in 1923, but actual construction did not begin until 2008. The realization of this connection took nearly a century from concept to completion.
Culture
The bridge received its name from residents who voted in a public poll to select it. This collective decision made it a shared creation of the city rather than a top-down designation.
Practical
The bridge is open to traffic around the clock and provides the main connection between two large city areas. Pedestrians and cyclists have their own dedicated paths and can cross easily while vehicles and trains operate simultaneously.
Did you know?
The structure uses a rare design with only one pylon instead of the typical two found on similar bridges. This single-pylon system was a notably innovative approach for spanning such a long distance when it was completed.
