Dry Bridge

Dry Bridge is a suspension bridge in Zrenjanin that spans a former riverbed. The structure stretches between two towers of unequal height and is held by a system of steel cables woven into a supporting network.

The bridge was built in 1962 by engineer Rada Janjatov as a connection between the city center and the Mala Amerika district across the Begej River. After the river was diverted in 1985, it lost its original function but remained standing in place.

The bridge carries a name rooted in the riverbed diversion that transformed the local landscape. Visitors notice today that it stands suspended within the city, creating an unusual connection to a place that lost its original purpose.

The bridge is easily accessible from downtown and can be visited throughout the year. The best views come from ground level or up close, allowing you to see the full construction and towers clearly.

What makes this bridge special is that it now leads over dry ground, even though it was designed to cross a river. This makes it an unexpected example of a structure that has outlived its surroundings.
