The Savebrücke over the Ada Ciganlija ( Serbian Мост преко Аде Циганлије Most preko Ade Ciganlije ) is a combined road-rail bridge over the Sava River in Belgrade . It connects the municipalities of Novi Beograd and Čukarica .

location

The bridge is part of the Inner Magistral Half-Ring , which leads from Novi Belgrade to Pančevo . The bridge is located south of the New Railway Bridge . It is a cable-stayed bridge with a 200 m high pylon . It has six lanes and pedestrian paths and will carry two railway tracks of a metro line that is yet to be built . The bridge stands with its pylon on the extreme northern tip of the Ada Ciganlija and spans a total of three water arms (Savehafen, Save and Savealtwasser on the Ada Ciganlija).

Technical specifications

Main part of the bridge over the Save with pylon

The architectural idea of ​​the Sava Bridge came from the pen of the Slovenian company Ponting, which won first prize among eleven submitted designs in a public tender in 2004. The unanimous choice of the winner was made by Nikola Hajdin , President of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and designer of the New Belgrade Railway Bridge. After bridging the Sava on August 8, 2011, the bridge is 964 m long and 45 m wide. The largest span is 376 m. The main opening of the bridge superstructure consists of a steel box girder cross-section, in the remaining fields of prestressed concrete box girders .

construction

General view of the bridge

The contract with the construction consortium, consisting of Porr , SCT and DSD, was signed on March 17th, 2008; the construction work was started on December 1st, 2008 by Dragan Đilas . The estimated costs are estimated at around 119 million euros. A first loan from the European Investment Bank of EUR 70 million of a planned EUR 160 million was approved on December 18, 2009 for the construction of the access roads. After the bridge was temporarily opened for inspection on a weekend in August 2011, it was officially opened on New Year's Eve 2012.

criticism

Since the selection of the most expensive of the eleven drafts submitted for the tender, the bridge has been subject to great criticism, especially from the technical side. The architects Ksenija Petovar, Mihailo Maletin, Slobodan Vukićević and Branislav Jovin have vigorously attacked the fundamental decision to run automobile traffic through the city as a misguided decision. Since a subway could also be set up with the costs of the entire Magistral Half-Ring and three simpler bridges could be built for the 119 million euros alone, which are only necessary for the bridge without its feeder, the city administration recently also decided because of the criticized postulated waste of money.
