Synopsis
The Zemun Borča Bridge 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 specific (and occasionally unusual) aspects of the bridge's construction, as well as the materials and techniques used.
