The bridge is almost 1km long and has a main span of 376m and a single 200m-tall pylon.
The bridge is seen as vital in solving the city's traffic problems and Tadic spoke in favour of bridges that present engineering and scientific challenges, rather than being purely architectural or artistic. He praised the special role of builders of bridges, roads, rail and infrastructure projects.
Djilas thanked everyone who had spent the last three years working in temperatures from -10

Important Update: Bridge Design & Engineering Magazine
For more than 31 years, Bridge Design & Engineering has been a trusted source of new insights, knowledge, and connections for the global bridge community. With the rapid shifts in the publishing landscape and increasing costs, sustaining the printed magazine at the high level of quality our readers expect has become increasingly challenging. After careful consideration, Hemming Group Ltd has made the difficult decision to discontinue the print publication.
You will continue to have full access to the Bridge Design and Engineering website - including the complete archive. Although the site will no longer be updated, the archive remains a rich resource of engineering knowledge and project insight. You can also continue to access the Bridge Directory, IBIG, through the website or directly at: https://www.bdeibig.com/
While this marks the end of an era, it also opens a new chapter, one focused on strengthening the connections, collaboration, and technical excellence that our community thrives on. Our energy and investment will now be directed toward expanding and enhancing our industry leading events that bring the bridge community together.
Our flagship events Bridges and Bridges Scotland will continue to thrive as essential annual gatherings for bridge owners, managers, designers, engineers, and suppliers. These events play a vital role in sharing innovation, showcasing best practice and emerging technologies, and fostering meaningful collaboration across the industry. We are excited to build on their success and will further develop these events in the years ahead.
