About the place

A single concrete pylon anchors this river route between Čukarica and New Belgrade.

The bridge spans the Sava River across the tip of Ada Ciganlija island to connect Čukarica directly with New Belgrade. Urban planners anchored the cable-stayed structure at the island point rather than near the lake to protect the surrounding recreational waters. The roadway forms a primary segment of the inner semi-ring bypass, directing cross-river traffic away from the historic core.

Construction required reinforcing and expanding the tip of the island with substantial amounts of concrete to support the solitary pylon. Outside of transport, the prominent silhouette became a common backdrop for commercial filming, television series, and musical productions. Television documentaries featured the structural engineering work during the assembly of the massive pylon.
