Concrete Pedestrian Bridge above Lepenica
This reinforced-concrete bridge, constructed in 1927, spans the Lepenica River in downtown Kragujevac. It replaced an earlier wooden structure and serves as one of the earliest examples of reinforced-concrete bridge engineering in Serbia. Visitors go here to observe the architectural transition of the city and to walk along the river through the old town district.
