Abstract

The solution with a continuous steel bridge was selected among six offered proposals received for the competition organized by Croatian Road Authority (Hrvatske ceste) for the initial layout and shaping of the new bridge between Mainland and the Čiovo Island. As the old town in Trogir is included in the UNESCO's World Heritage List, the requirements set for this competition were very stringent. The bridge was to be almostinvisible, with the bridge gradient line as low as possible, and without any structural elements above the roadway level. The bridge span above the navigable waterway had to be designed as a moveable bridge. The conceptual design of the first-prize winning solution is presented.
