Šibenik bridge

The Šibenik Bridge extends 390 meters across the Krka River with a rectangular three-chamber hollow box cross-section and a height of 30.8 meters.

The bridge, designed by Ilija Stojadinovic and constructed by Mostogradnja between 1964 and 1966, introduced new cantilevering techniques for concrete arch bridges.

The structure represents a milestone in Croatian engineering, demonstrating the technological capabilities and infrastructure development of the mid-twentieth century.

The bridge carries the D8 national road with a roadway width of 10.8 meters, connecting different parts of Šibenik for both local and tourist traffic.

During the Croatian War of Independence in 1991, the bridge withstood multiple grenade strikes while maintaining its structural integrity and continued operation.
