# Marshal Tito Bridge

Also called: Most maršala Tita, Tito marsall híd, Marschall-Tito-Brücke.

The Marshal Tito bridge carried road and rail traffic over the Danube between Novi Sad and Petrovaradin, on the crossing now occupied by the Varadin bridge. The first permanent bridge here, named for Prince Tomislav, was built between 1921 and 1928; Yugoslav forces mined it in 1941, the German occupiers rebuilt it, and it was destroyed again during their retreat in 1944. The replacement went up quickly after the war, at first with timber trestle approaches carried on wooden piles, and Josip Broz Tito opened it in January 1946, which is when it took his name. NATO aircraft destroyed the bridge on 1 April 1999, and the 304 metre Varadin bridge opened on the same crossing in September 2000.
