• Resumen

  • The Zemun Borca Bridge (Figure 1) is a multi-span crossing of the River Danube located within the suburbs of Belgrade, Serbia. The main span has a clear navigation span of 172m with side-spans of 95m and was designed for balanced cantilever construction. The 1.1km approach structure viaduct has a typical span length of 48m and was designed for span by span construction using a launched moveable support system (MSS). The bridge construction was completed in less than three years by Chinese contractor, China Road and Bridge Corporation. This paper presents some of the specifi c (and occasionally unusual) aspects of the bridge's construction, as well as the materials and techniques used.
