Hendrix Bridge, Railway bridge across Sava River in Zagreb, Croatia
Hendrix Bridge is a 306-meter iron railway crossing with a single arch design that spans the Sava River in Zagreb. The steel arch structure connects both sides of the city and stands out for its industrial form.
The structure was completed in 1939 and replaced an older crossing from 1862 that had previously spanned the river. Its construction represented a technical advancement of that era and made it a notable engineering achievement.
A red graffiti with the name 'Hendrix' appeared in 1995 and locals adopted this unofficial name for the previously unnamed structure. The name has become part of how residents and visitors refer to the crossing.
This structure serves as an active railway connection and trains pass through day and night, so expect rail traffic when visiting. It is best to stay clear of the tracks and observe from designated viewing areas.
The crossing features a special LED lighting system that synchronizes with passing trains and creates a visual display. This unexpected lighting feature transforms the structure at night into something quite different from what daytime visitors see.
