Pontoon bridge in Brodarevo disassembled
Members of the 1st Pontoon Battalion of the River Flotilla disassembled last week the pontoon bridge across the river Lim in Brodarevo.The pontoon bridge, 65m long and 7m wide, was assembled by the River Flotilla pontoon battalion on December 17, and opened for traffic a day later, on December 18 last year. In that way, after the flood damaged the existing bridge on December 2, the inhabitants of ten villages on the right bank of the Lim River, at the foot of the mountain Jadovnik, were enabled to connect with the main road towards Prijepolje and Bijelo Polje.
During that one year, as the bridge was operational, fifteen commanding officers and professional soldiers from the first pontoon battalion of the River Flotilla and the Sabac garrison were on duty around the clock maintaining the pontoon bridge. Up to one hundred vehicles and a large number of pedestrians crossed the bridge on daily basis.
Following the static testing, the reconstructed bridge across the Lim would be opened for traffic.
