Adriatic Bridge, Cable bridge in Zagreb, Croatia
The Adriatic Bridge crosses the Sava River in Zagreb using steel cables and concrete pillars as its main structure. It has six traffic lanes plus dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists on both sides.
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 has a distinctive outline with its main span stretching across without supports in the river. This unsupported span makes it a recognizable feature of the city's outline.
