The Sava Bridge, also known as the New Sava Road Bridge or the Sava Pedestrian Bridge, is one of the bridges on the Sava River in Zagreb. It was built in 1938 according to a design by Milivoj Frković, on the site of the older Red Bridge, as a steel solid-walled continuous beam structure. Above two steel girders (spaced 5.8 m apart), a reinforced concrete pavement slab was built, which together with its consoles gives the total width of the bridge 9 m. The bridge's level is a convex curve with a final longitudinal slope of 1.65%, and this curvature is followed by the intrados line, which is why the bridge has a harmonious shape. The bridge structure is extremely slender (1:21), taking into account the height of the girders of 250 cm. St44 quality steel was used to build the bridge, which is problematic for welding thick 95 mm thick lamellas, but despite this, by performing welding with preheating, exceptional weld quality was achieved, which is appropriate for the steel used.

The church was damaged in the Petrin earthquake and had to be demolished to the ground. A new one was built. Across the street is a pub.

Martinska Ves is a small village on both sides of the river Sava. Surprisingly, the first (and only) bridge between "left" and "right" Martinska Ves was built just 20-something years ago. On a positive side, the hanging bridge is very elegant and primarily built for bikers and pedestrians - as it should in the 21st century. 😎

Tišina Kaptolska. Literally "Captol's scilence".A village with ~200 inhabitants and a shuttle over Sava

Shuttle over Sava in "Tišina Kaptolska"(*) - a tiny little place with barely 200 inhabitants. Shuttle normally starts working around 14h according to the locals, but the owner was in the hospital as I passed (08/2024) and the shuttle didn't work. (*) literally Kaptol's silence. No idea why.
