Railway Bridge in Niš

The existing steel structure of the bridge at km 4+871.5 on the 219 railway line Crveni Krst (Niš) – Zaječar – Prahovo Pristanište spans the main road Nikola Tesla Boulevard.

The structure was damaged in February 2022.

The new bridge structure has been designed very similarly to the existing one. The axis spacing of the main girders has been maintained at 3600 mm, dictated by the locations intended for the bearing supports on the columns.

The new orthotropic deck consists of longitudinal girders—open ribs made from plates. The transverse girders are spaced 2280 mm apart.

The new bridge, like the existing one, features pedestrian walkways on both sides for official use.
