Most kod Stare Gradiške, brug in Stara Gradiška, Kroatië
Most kod Stare Gradiške is a road bridge spanning the Sava River with four traffic lanes and a length of approximately 430 meters (1,410 feet). The steel structure allows boats to pass underneath while providing continuous vehicle traffic flow in both directions across the span.
The first bridge at this location was built in 1463 as a pontoon structure to enable crossing into Bosnia. After World War One and during World War Two, the bridge was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt in different technical forms as political borders and conflicts reshaped the region.
The name Stara Gradiška refers to the old fortified town, and the bridge serves as a daily crossing point where people from both countries meet and interact. You will observe locals and travelers using it as a practical link in their daily routines and business activities.
The bridge is open for traffic throughout the day and night with sufficient space for various vehicle types across all four lanes. Pedestrians and cyclists can also use the bridge or travel along nearby bank areas for alternative crossing options.
The bridge is part of the European road corridor E661 that stretches from Hungary to the Adriatic Sea and plays a crucial role in connecting different parts of the continent. It was built through cooperation between both countries and with European Union support, representing cross-border partnership in action.
