Bau einer Schrägseilbrücke über die Save in Belgrad

Construction of a Stay Cable Bridge crossing River Sava in Belgrade.

A new landmark for the capital of Republic Serbia is constructed in a very short time. The largest one pyloned stayed cable bridge of the world with a deck width of 45 m crosses river Sava 3 km before it leads into the Danube. The 200 m high pylon divides the bridge deck into a 376 m long Main Span crossing the river and a 200 m wide Back Span crossing a bay. The bridge consists Bild 1.

An international joint venture won in 2008 the FIDIC Contract to design and build the bridge. A bridge with such extreme dimensions combined with different construction materials and different construction methods in an environment with war and embargo history even led to consideration of Discovery Channel for its series "Extreme Engineering".
