TheRoad–Railway Bridge (Serbian:Друмско-железнички мост,romanized: Drumsko-železnički most) orBoško Perošević Bridge (Serbian:Most Boška Peroševića) was a bridge on theDanube river inNovi Sad,Serbia.
On the proposal ofSlobodan Milošević, at the timePresident of Yugoslavia, the bridge was named after assassinated Serbian politician and theChairman of the Executive Council of VojvodinaBoško Perošević.[1]
The bridge was constructed next to the location of the oldŽeželj Bridge, at the end of Venizelosova street from the side of Novi Sad, connecting to Reljkovićeva street at Petrovaradin.
On 29 May 2000, one year after theNATO bombing of Yugoslavia and demolition of all three large bridges over Danube in Novi Sad, the Road–Railway Bridge was opened upstream from theŽeželj Bridge.[1]
The bridge was designed to be a temporary one-lane railway and road bridge, after the demolition of nearby Žeželj Bridge during the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.[2]
In October 2018, following the completion of new Žeželj Bridge, dismantling of Boško Perošević Bridge began.[3] As of March 2019, the first phase of bridge dismantling was finished.[4]
