Saint Irinej Footbridge

Saint Irinej Footbridge spans the Sava River, connecting two parts of Sremska Mitrovica with a modern pedestrian structure. It features wide walkways that are easy to traverse and offer views of the river below.

The footbridge was built in 1993 as part of the city's modern development. Sremska Mitrovica itself has ancient roots as an important Roman settlement from centuries past.

The footbridge takes its name from Saint Irinej, reflecting the importance of Orthodox Christianity in the local community. It connects people and places on both sides of the river and becomes part of daily social routines and local gatherings.

The footbridge provides direct access to the City Beach, Ćira Milekić Square, and the riverside promenade, making it central to daily foot traffic. The crossing is easy to locate and offers a safe route for pedestrians on both sides.

During local festivals, the footbridge transforms into an exhibition space where markets and cultural displays link communities from both sides of the Sava. This temporary use makes it a lively gathering point for celebrations and local events.
