The Millennium Bridge ( Serbo-Croatian Мост Миленијум / Most Milenijum ) is a cable-stayed bridge in Podgorica , Montenegro . The 173 meter long bridge over the Morača connects the 13th Jula Street with the Bulevar Ivana Crnojevića . It was opened on July 13, 2005, the national holiday of Montenegro, and is a symbol of the country's boom and has become the symbol of the capital.
The Millennium Bridge was designed by the Slovenian engineering firm Ponting and Mladen Ulicevic , professor at the University of Montenegro .
