Old Sava Bridge, Railway and road bridge in Belgrade, Serbia
The 430-meter steel arch bridge spans the Sava River, connecting the municipalities of New Belgrade and Savski Venac with two traffic lanes and tram tracks.
Built in 1942 during German occupation, the bridge replaced the destroyed King Alexander Bridge as the only crossing point over the Sava River in Belgrade.
Teacher Miladin Zaric prevented the bridge destruction in 1944 by alerting Soviet forces about German explosives, becoming a local hero memorialized through street art.
The bridge handles 30,000 vehicles daily, serving both automobile traffic and tram lines that link the old and new sections of Belgrade since 1984.
The steel structure was initially designed for installation over the Tisa River near Zabalj but was redirected to Belgrade due to wartime necessities.
