At the present time, there are six bridges in Belgrade spanning the Sava and Danube rivers, and construction of two more bridges is planned over the next three years. The Old Sava Bridge was built in 1942 for military purposes by Axis occupational forces. Since WWII, it has been used by Belgraders as both a traffic and tram bridge. The bridge had a face lift in December 2007, and you can see that it is now a nice shade of green, reminding us that spring (I am optimistic, I know) isn't really so very far off...sort of. When I took this photo, I was intrigued by the reflection in the water, but now I see there's an Evergreen railroad car/container in the background under the bridge. If you'd like to have a look at the ultra-modern bridge that Belgrade is planning to build in another location, see this site .
