Kosinj Bridge, Stone bridge in Perušić, Croatia.
The Kosinj Bridge is a stone crossing over the Lika River near Perušić in Croatia. It stretches 70 meters between Gornji and Donji Kosinj villages with a 5.5-meter-wide structure, designed to handle both foot traffic and light vehicles.
Construction started in 1929 under architect Milivoj Frković's design and opened to the public in 1936. The bridge represents early 20th-century engineering methods applied in this Croatian region.
The bridge incorporates traditional Croatian stone building techniques, demonstrating regional engineering methods from the early twentieth century.
The bridge is open year-round and provides direct passage between the two villages. The stone surface can become slippery when wet, so footing requires care.
The bridge's piers create circular patterns in the water below through specialized construction designed to prevent erosion. This design protects the structure from the forces of flowing water.
