Oh, I absolutly love it. I've always liked suspension arches, and the way the two arches are angled makes it look exceptionally fluid. The pedestrian ramps onramps are very thoughtful, as well.

I love this bridge too. Great design. Just one question about location of the bridge: Peter, do you have any map?

Great bridge! Bratislava needs it

And my city, Belgrade needs a new one over the Danube - all of our bridges except one are over Sava river) ...

By the way, if you have Novy Most, Stary Most, what will the one be called?
Novy Novy Most?

We have Stari Most in Belgrade too

Well, so far as I know, the name is Most Kosicka. But who knows, maybe by opening they will be thinking of the changing of its name...
Actually, in Bratislava there are 4 bridges over the Danube: Most Lafranconi, Novy Most, Stary Most and Pristavny (Harbor) Most. Lafranconi and Pristavny bridges are highway bridges. There are plans about the building the 6th bridge in Bratislava in southeast (near Slovnaft) as a part of second highway circle around Bratislava....But, realistically, after 2008-2009...

Very nice design

, it has a slight Calatrava look to it but it hasn't quite got the quality of one of his designs. I too like the arch design for bridges.

The Danube is going to become a very important route in Europe once again and projectslike this will make it look all the better. Does anyone know if there are any EU plans to clear up the Danube so it can be fully navegable along its entire length?

Well, as far as I found out, until 2007, when a special fund for the trans-european networks will be created, these projects will be financed mostly from the Cohesion fund. However, according to EU commission, it is planned to finish fully navigable part Bratislava-Vienna until 2007 and the elimination of the weak points (even in Germany and in Romania and Bulgaria) on other Danube parts until 2015. From the technical aspect, there are at least 7 - 8 years needed to realize the full navigable Danube.

Prestonian · May 27th, 2004, 12:41 AM

Oh well, at least the EU is getting stuck in to the project. This is the sort of thing it does best. Many thanks for the info Wicky
