The original «Kinfi Alexander» suspension bridge over the Save river, Yugoslavia, which was destroyed during the last world war has been reconstructed, after organising an international prize award for its design. 32 projects from various countries were submitted. The chosen design is a metal structure, of 261 ms span. The arch of the main span has a hollow box section. The deck consists of an orthotropic slab, which has been subjected to a number of tests. The bridge has three spans (two approach and one central span), and was built without scaffolding, i. e., by cantilevering it from the springers. The roadway is 12 ms wide and there are two 3 ms wide footways. The box section arch girders are 9.60 ms deep over the piles, and 4.50 ms at the crown. The slopes on either side of the crown are 0.7 and 0.25%, respectively. The deck is very rigid, and is well capable of supporting the design loads and windage.
