History

On 29 May 2000, one year after the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia and demolition of all three large bridges over Danube in Novi Sad, the Road–Railway Bridge was opened.[1] On the proposal of Slobodan Milošević, at the time President of Yugoslavia, the bridge was named after assassinated Serbian politician and the Chairman of the Executive Council of Vojvodina Boško Perošević.[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]
