| Abstract: |
The construction in 1892 of the prefabricated single-span arched open-spandrel steel /wrough iron riveted bridge in Veliko Tarnovo of total length of 81600 mm during the government of Stefan Stambolov symbolized the first step towards the modern development of his hometown within the newly created Bulgarian state. The revision of the data of the designer and producer of the bridge complements the detailed description of the specific spatial construction of the bridge deck, that is used to serve the two-way pedestrian and vehicle traffic to the railroad station, in revealing the innovative character of its technical characteristics and its overall historical importance in the history of Bulgarian infrastructure development 130 years after its installation over the Yantra river. |
