The Žeželjev most is a combined road and railway bridge over the Danube , which connects Novi Sad on the north bank with today's district Petrovaradin (German Peterwardein ) on the south bank. The new building, completed in 2018, replaces the bridge of the same name that was destroyed in the NATO air raids against Serbia in 1999 .

description

The Žeželjev most is part of the Budapest – Belgrade railway line , which has existed since 1883 (with war-related interruptions), and thus part of branch B (Budapest - Novi Sad - Belgrade) of the Pan-European Transport Corridor 10 , which connects Salzburg and Budapest with the Greek port city of Thessaloniki should connect. The bridge was largely funded by the EU from IPA funds .

Due to an agreement with the People's Republic of China, the previously largely single-track line has been expanded to double-track since 2018 and for speeds of 160 km / h, at the top up to 200 km / h.

The 474 m long and 31.8 m wide bridge carries two railway tracks, two vehicle lanes and a 2.5 m wide walkway and bike path on both sides.

Its superstructure , made entirely of steel, consists of two consecutive tied arch bridges and two girder bridges that form the transitions to the bank. The pillar spacing is 27.0 + 178.5 + 220.5 + 48 m. The carriageway slabs are attached to the slightly inclined arches with inclined ropes. More than 10,500 t of steel were used for the bridge, more than the total mass of the Eiffel Tower specified at 10,100 t .

The two arch bridges were installed at construction sites along the banks and then pushed to the shore until they on pontoons floated and the river piers were sold.

The bridge was planned by Aleksandar Bojović and built by a consortium made up of AZVI (Spain), Tadei (Italy) and Horta Koslada (Spain).

The Žeželj Bridge was opened to traffic on September 1, 2018.

Žeželjev most

The Žeželjev most from 1961 at the same place was a combined road and rail bridge, which also had two vehicle lanes, but only one track. Its official name was Most bratstva i jedinstva (Bridge of Brotherhood and Unity), but it was generally named after the renowned Serbian civil engineer, Branko Žeželj , who planned it. It was carried out by the Serbian company Mostogradnja.

The structure, constructed entirely of concrete between 1957 and 1961 , was 466 m long and 20.15 m wide and consisted of two successive arched bridge superstructures with a roadway in the middle. The two arches had spans of 211 and 165.75 m, each with the same arrow ratio of 1: 6.5. The arches consisted of 2.5 m wide reinforced concrete - hollow boxes that were connected by diamond-shaped wind bracing made of prestressed concrete . The roadway girder was hung from the arches with vertical hangers or raised on them with concrete supports. The reinforced concrete river pillar had a hollow cross-section of 11.30 m wide at the base. Due to the asymmetrical load caused by the arches of different lengths, however, it expanded to a foot that was 24.50 m wide.

The bridge was opened on October 23, 1961 and was one of the distinctive architectural symbols of Novi Sad.

In 1965, a flood led to scouring on the right abutment , which led to a settlement of around 30 cm and the formation of cracks. The scour was removed and the cracks repaired; Long-term monitoring of the bridge until 1989 showed no problems for the safety and stability of the bridge.

In 1999 the bridge was attacked a total of twelve times by NATO aircraft during the NATO air strikes against Serbia and destroyed along with the other two Danube bridges in Novi Sad. The destruction of the bridge interrupted the railway connection between Belgrade and Novi Sad, which is why international train traffic on the Belgrade – Budapest route had to be discontinued. In May 2000, a single-lane steel truss bridge was inaugurated as a temporary bridge, on which trains and road vehicles could alternately cross the Danube in one direction at 30 km / h.

Franz Joseph Bridge (1883)

The Franz Joseph Railway Bridge was opened in 1883 in connection with the Budapest – Belgrade railway line at almost the same location as its successor. It was a 432 m long, single-track, wrought-iron lattice girder bridge with pillar spacing of 76 + 92 + 92 + 96 + 76 m.

It was the first permanent bridge below Budapest - a ship bridge had existed in Novi Sad since the beginning of the 19th century - and the last bridge before the Black Sea , until 1895 about 650 km further east or 955 km downstream in Cernavodă die Anghel -Saligny Bridge was opened.

It seems to have survived the First World War unscathed. In 1929 it was named after Prince Andrej Karađorđević , the third son of King Alexander I.

On April 10, 1941, just before the German invasion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, it was blown up by Yugoslav troops. Soon afterwards, Hungarian, Croatian and German units installed a temporary bridge made of SZ and MZ systems, which on August 28, 1941 was again accessible to railroad trains. Later it was given a plank covering for road traffic. When the German army withdrew at the end of 1944, the railway and temporary bridges were finally destroyed.

After the war, the railway was temporarily relocated to the restored neighboring Marshal Tito Bridge until the first Žeželjev most was completed in 1961.
