Abstract
Destruction of three bridges across the Danube river in Novi Sad, in the April of 1999. — during NATO bombing, caused the traffic interruption on the international highway. Belgrade-Novi Sad-Subotica, which is a part of Europian highway E-75 and international railway line Ankara-Wien. In efforts to ease the life-problems to the population of Novi Sad, it was decided to build temporary railway-road bridge, in the shortest term that is possible. The bridge is located about 75 m upstream from the destroyed concrete arch bridge system. In spite of extremely short term, the complex geotechnical investigations and foundation analyses of the columns founded on piles were performed successfully. The bridge was built in the 8 months period of time and the building process was completed in the April of 2000.
