The purpose of this approx. 60 million euro project was to build the new Žeželj Bridge (the old one was destroyed by NATO in 1999), the main objective being to restore full road and rail traffic across the Danube in Novi Sad as part of the Belgrade-Subotica-Budapest segment of the TEN-T network. The bridge is of crucial importance to Novi Sad, which is Serbia’s second largest city and is located in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The project will also enable safe navigation along the Novi Sad reach of the Danube (also part of the TEN-T), in line with international navigation standards. Finally, the project would involve the destruction of the temporary railway and road bridge, which was only designed for a five-year lifetime. The project consists of the fabrication of the structural steel for the bridge (entirely funded by IPA and completed), with the remaining 50% of the works at the expense of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and the City of Novi Sad. In addition to that, the EU financed the design and tender preparation for the construction of the bridge (CARDS 2004), the Serbian Transport Master Plan (CARDS 2005) and the technical assistance for the supervision of the works (IPA 2008). The completion of the bridge was initially foreseen for November 2013. As of today, the project’s completion is further delayed. 3 4.
