| Abstract: |
The paper deals with new bridge across Sava River in Belgrade, with an overall length of 967 m, at the lower tip of Ada Island as a part of the inner city semi-ring road. The bridge deck, having width of 45 m, carries 6 lanes of vehicular traffic, 2 rail tracks of LRT and two lanes of pedestrian/ cycleway. The main bridge part is an asymmetric cable-stayed structure, with a main span of 376 m and a back span of 200 m. The unique single pylon in the form of sharp cone is 200 m high. The stays of fan-type configuration are in two quasi-middle planes. The aesthetics plays a major role in bridge design to be a meeting point for engineering and architecture. The Ada Bridge will have an original architectural appearance well incorporated in the city environment. As the awarded design-build Contractor started the works by middle 2008, it is planned to end the works in autumn 2011. The Sava Bridge is the largest bridge currently under construction in Europe. |
