Apollo Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in District of Bratislava I, Slovakia.

The Apollo Bridge extends 854 meters across the Danube River, featuring a single central pylon that supports the main span with curved lines.

The bridge derives its name from the Apollo oil refinery that operated on the left river bank before World War II in this location.

The structure stands as an example of modern Slovak engineering, receiving recognition as a finalist for the 2006 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award.

The bridge accommodates six lanes for vehicles, dedicated cycling paths, and pedestrian walkways, connecting the historic center with the Petržalka district.

During construction, engineers rotated the 5,240-ton steel structure across the river from its construction site to its final position on a pillar.
