This article reviews the new superstructure and cable system for the pedestrian suspension bridge over Varbitza river, situated in Rodopi mountain of Bulgaria. The bridge connects the town of Momchilgrad with the village of Sedlare, bridging the river in a single span. The distance between the two concrete pylons is 169m. The span of the main steel truss girders is 155m with a clear distance between them of 2,50m. The design was made in 2005 and the bridge was constructed in 2007. In 2021 (nearly fifteen years after its completion) side inspection of its service condition was made by the authors. The results of the findings are discussed in this article as well. |
