Adriatic Bridge, Girder bridge in Zagreb, Croatia

The Adriatic Bridge (Jadranski most) is a girder bridge over the Sava River in Zagreb, designed by Zvonimir Lončarić and built in 1981. Its main section is a continuous seven-span structure 313.7 m long, with a constant girder height of 2.4 m, plus a northern approach viaduct of one 18.55 m span and a southern viaduct of four spans totalling 78.40 m. The deck carries three 3.5 m traffic lanes each way, two tram tracks in the middle and pedestrian lanes along the outer railings.

Construction finished in 1981 to handle rising traffic between northern and southern parts of Zagreb. It was built during a time when the city was expanding rapidly and needed new connections.

The bridge links neighborhoods with business areas and shapes how the city flows. It is a place where daily routines cross paths, connecting different parts of Zagreb into one movement.

Pedestrians and cyclists have separate paths on both sides while vehicle traffic flows across six lanes. Early morning or evening hours offer easier crossing times when traffic is lighter.

The bridge is a continuous girder of constant height, 2.4 m, resting on freely rotating bearings, with a height-to-span ratio of 1:26. Its seven spans total 313.7 m, and the deck carries three 3.5 m traffic lanes, two 3.5 m tram lanes and two 2 m pedestrian lanes.
