It is the city's second bridge over the Danube after the Pančevo Bridge, which was first built in 1935 and is located around 10 km downstream .
It is named after Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin , an American physicist and writer of Serbian descent, who was born in a village a few kilometers north of the bridge.
