Varadin Bridge, Road girder bridge in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Varadin Bridge is a road crossing made of reinforced concrete that stretches 304 meters across the Danube River, connecting different parts of Novi Sad. Its box girder design allows river traffic to flow underneath while supporting continuous vehicle and pedestrian movement above.
The current bridge was completed in 2000, replacing an earlier structure that had served the area since 1946. The original was destroyed in 1999 during bombing, making this a rebuild from that period.
The bridge name combines Hungarian words for fortress and town with a Turkish word for faith, showing how different cultures have shaped this region over time. Walking across it, you experience a place where these influences still feel present in the local identity.
The elevated span allows unobstructed river traffic to flow underneath, so visitors can walk or drive freely across it. The structure is accessible on foot and handles all weather conditions well.
Local residents regularly place flowers at the bridge entrance as a quiet memorial to those lost during 1999. This simple act of remembrance has become an ongoing part of how the community honors its recent past.
