Blažo Jovanović Bridge

The Blažo Jovanović Bridge (Most Blaža Jovanovića) is Podgorica's busiest river crossing, a long concrete span carrying traffic over the Morača near the point where the smaller Ribnica joins it. Set along the city's main axis, Boulevard Saint Peter of Cetinje, it links the centre to the opposite bank and forms one chapter in a story of a city built on six rivers. Finished in 1950 and designed by the celebrated engineer-architect Branko Žeželj, the bridge is named after Blažo Jovanović, a Montenegrin revolutionary and national hero. Reconstructed in 1985 and again in 2009, when its railings were renewed and decorative lighting installed, it today reads as both a workaday piece of infrastructure and a mid-century landmark of the rebuilt capital.
