Mala Rijeka Viaduct

The project was started in 1969 and was completed in 1973. The viaduct is long and at its highest is above the Mala Rijeka River. It is also the longest bridge on the Belgrade–Bar railway. When constructed it was the highest railway bridge in the world, surpassing the record height previously held by the Fades viaduct in France. It held the record until 2001 when the Beipan River Shuibai Railway Bridge, a concrete arch bridge, was completed in Guizhou, China. Multiple railway bridges under construction in China will also be higher. == Construction ==

36,000 m3 of concrete and 100,000 tonnes of steel were built into the bridge. The largest of four pillars, upon which the bridge lies, has a base bigger than a tennis court. Belgian extreme sportsman Cedric Dumont was the first person to jump from the bridge on 11 September 2008. == See also ==
