Design and construction of Jasenovac bridge

The bridge crossing across the Sava and Una Rivers at Jasenovac, comprising seven independent bridge structures, provides the road link between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the Croatian war for independence several parts of the bridge were destroyed or damaged, including the main prestressed concrete bridge across the Sava River. The destroyed bridge and the reconstructed steel orthotropic plate superstructure are described. The design of the reconstruction of the main bridge across the Sava River at Jasenovac was constrained by the fact that it had to be fitted between two existing bridge sections, the approach bridge on the left bank and the intersection on the right bank with predefined road alignment and deck widths. The chosen color for the superstructure is dark grey to accentuate steel, but not aggressively, to blend harmonically with other concrete bridge sections. The reconstruction took place under difficult circumstances, mined surroundings, removal of the destroyed prestressed concrete bridge, damages to piers, damaged foundations, localized damage and worn-out structural parts and furnishings. With combined effort of all involved parties the bridge was successfully reconstructed in seventeen months from January 2004 to May 2005.
