Gazela Bridge — Attraction in City of Belgrade

the amount of people in the reviews claiming it is old or has never been renovated are either out of touch with reality, absolutely oblivious or too young to have witnessed it in its old shape this is what it used to look like before renovation, which was direly needed back then, id say what we have now is definitely an upgrade and does it job as intended why should old be a bad thing? its definitely a lot more modern now than it used to be, or certain other bridges that remain unchanged today these photos dont show a lot of open reinforcement that was crumbling and giant open cracks which were a big hazard, that currently are not present looking up "rekonstrukcija gazele" can show a pdf which goes in depth in why it NEEDED reconstruction and what they did in order to achieve that, as well as other articles talking about the much needed reconstruction this bridge is pretty new for what it used to be and complaining about it is quite dumbfounded to the effort to keep it running and looking good but to be fair, looking into it more, it seems that it is being neglected yet again. its pillars are beginning to chip off, the insides are visible, and for one of the most overworked bridges that makes a valid concern. i dont think they will fix it again, i honestly have to agree it needs rework again. i wrote this entire thing because im extremely passionate for this bridge and this bridge only, and i cant deny the flaws. if anything, they will just leave it to rot and build a brand new one, which is the biggest shame this city would go through if that ends up being true. this was discussed in 2022 and i do not think there has been any improvements ever since, but i sincerely hope the bridge never gets demolished....

Gazela je najprometniji beogradski most iznad reke Save. Dnevno preko njega pređe više od 165.000 vozila iako je most projektovan za oko 40.000. Građen je od 1966. do 1970. kao deo gradskog auto-puta i auto-puta Bratstvo i jedinstvo koji je trebalo da poveže ondašnje republike SFRJ — Makedoniju, Srbiju, Hrvatsku i Sloveniju. Rekonstrukcija mosta je trajala u više faza 2010-2012. godine.

Most je kombinacija grede i oluka, dugačak 332 m, a širok 27,5 m. Ukupna širina kolovoza je 21,8m (po tri trake u oba smera, širine 10m sa razdvojnicom od 1,5m). Delom dužine mosta postoje i dve pešačke staze širine po tri metra.

Gazela se iznad Save izdiže 22,8m tokom srednjeg vodostaja.

Glavni projektant Gazele je bio profesor Građevinskog fakulteta Milan Đurić.[1] Ime mu je dao Đorđe Lazarević, predsednik konkursne komisije za gradnju mosta, on je rekao „ovaj most je preskočio Savu kao gazela u skoku“.

Televizija Beograd je direktno prenosila ispitivanje nosivosti mosta.

Gradnju mosta je izvelo preduzeće „Mostogradnja“ iz Beograda, u sradanji sa preduzećem „Goša“ iz Smederevske Palanke.

Most je otvoren 4. decembra 1970. u prisustvu Josipa Broza Tita i Branka Pešića.

Most je projektovan za prelazak oko 40000 vozila dnevno, a njim sada prolazi oko 165000 vozila dnevno.

Kao verovatna posledica neodržavanja mosta poslednjih 40 godina, 29. januara 2010. je zbog pukotine na glavnom nosaču mosta došlo do delimičnog preusmeravanja teretnog saobraćaja na druge mostove, za vozila preko tri tone.[3] Naređena je sanacija u...

I am amazed that this bridge still stands. It's old and it's construction was never renovated. With the daily traffic jam in the last 15 years I'm sure it desperately needs...
