Liberty Bridge, Steel arch bridge in central Zagreb, Croatia
Liberty Bridge is a steel arch structure spanning the Sava River to link Trnje with Novi Zagreb through four vehicle lanes and separate pathways. Its length of 373 meters makes it a prominent crossing point that handles daily traffic between the city's central and southern zones.
The bridge opened in 1959 as part of Zagreb's post-war reconstruction and urban growth toward the southern bank. It resolved the need for a major crossing point that could support the city's expansion beyond the Sava River.
Liberty Bridge functions as a gathering point where local residents participate in community events and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.
Walking and cycling are straightforward across the bridge thanks to dedicated side paths that keep you separate from car traffic. The crossing takes only a few minutes and offers good views of the river and surrounding areas from the middle.
The steel structure combines modern engineering with functional design elements that reflect the architectural preferences of mid-twentieth century European infrastructure.
