Basic data

edit

The bridge is designed with one span of length 80 m (260 ft), the total length of the structure is 90 m (300 ft). The main steel structure was designed as a space truss structure consisting of two longitudinal circular hollow profiles at the top and the bottom. The composite slab is designed as a reinforced concrete slab with a thickness of 15 to 22 cm (6 to 9 in).[3]

Cycle route

edit

The cycling connection between Celje and Laško mostly runs along the left bank of the Savinja river, partly along existing local roads and public paths. In addition to the construction of a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists near Tremerje, the arrangements included the construction of a cycling path and pedestrian corridors, the construction of supporting structures, two rest areas and public lighting.[4] The construction was financed by the Slovenian Infrastructure Agency.
