Length of this facility is 498.8 meters and its height is 200 meters. For its size, the bridge is the highest railway one in Europe and fourth in the world. The construction of the bridge took four years, from 1969 to 1973. The work was intense, with a lot of obstacles.
Bridge on the river Malaja, which hasn’t any analogue in the region, was designed by Ljubomir Yeftovicha together with the engineers: Milorad Lukovic, Milivoye Kovacevic and Milorad Markovic.
The structure, consisting of tall columns supporting the bridge, is equal to the area of a tennis court. For the construction of the bridge over the river Malaja were used 36,000 m3 of concrete and 100,000 tons of steel! Accordingly, it can be concluded, that the steel structure weighs 25,000 tons!
