“Twin” of Szentendre Bridge to be built – Novi Sad opens tender for project design, construction to begin in 2019

The City of Novi Sad has opened a tender for the project design for a “twin” of the Szentendre (Klisa) Bridge on the Danube-Tisa-Danube Canal. The plan is to build an identical twin-bridge, in addition to expanding the Szentendre Road into a boulevard and fully reconstructing the current bridge, which has taken a lot of damage over the years. Each bridge will therefore enable traffic in one direction.

The value of the project is RSD 15 million, and the documentation says that the new twin-bridge should look identical to the current one, at 195 meters of length, with two 3.5-m lanes, a bicycle and pedestrian lane of two and 1.6 meters, as well as a secured area for installations and regular and decorative lighting.

The construction of the bridge will begin after the reconstruction of the existing one and the expansion of the traffic route, that is, in 2019. The city's budget plan already states that the construction will require around RSD 165 million.

The expansion of the Szentendre Road and a total reconstruction of the bridge will be financed jointly by the Republic of Serbia, through the Roads of Serbia, the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and Novi Sad, with RSD 730 million for the traffic route and another RSD 80 million for the bridge. The tenders for these works have not yet been opened, but are expected to take place soon, as the contracts were signed several months ago.
