New Railroad Bridge, Cable-stayed railway bridge over Sava River, Belgrade, Serbia
Description
The New Railroad Bridge is a steel structure that spans the Sava using cables suspended from tall towers to support its weight. The angled cable system allows the bridge to cover a wide crossing area while maintaining structural strength.
History
The bridge was built during the 1970s as the second railway crossing over the Sava and opened in 1979. Its innovative cable design was completely new for railway structures at that time, marking a departure from traditional bridge engineering.
Culture
The bridge is used daily by commuters traveling between the two halves of the city, serving as a vital link in Belgrade's transportation network. Its striking cable design has become part of how locals and visitors perceive the city's modern infrastructure.
Practical
Access is limited to train passengers, as this is a railway-only bridge. The best views of the structure come from the riverbanks or nearby streets, where you can clearly see the towers and cable system from a distance.
Did you know?
This was the first railway bridge in Europe to use the cable-stayed system, a technique previously used only for highway bridges. The concept proved that railway structures could benefit from this efficient design approach.
