The graceful Crni Kal Viaduct

The highest bridge in the country of Slovenia, the Crni Kal Viaduct (95 meters high) is a prestressed concrete beam bridge with well designed piers that split into a V-shape before meeting the underside of the deck. Completed in 2004, the twin span structure is on a wide arc that resulted in the north bridge having a slightly larger main span of 463 feet (141 mtrs) - 2 meters longer than the south bridge. The viaduct carries the A1 motorway above the Osp valley near Dekani, just two miles from the Italian border.
