Millennium Bridge, Podgorica, Montenegro

The Millennium Bridge is a recently completed cable-stayed bridge over the Morača river, in Podgorica, Montenegro. The bridge was officially opened on July 13, 2005, Montenegro's National Day, and quickly became one of the city's most prominent landmarks.

It is 140 m long, and the pylon is rising 57 m high. Twelve cables support the roadbed, while twenty four more are attached to the counterweights, creating an impressive image. The bridge was designed by Mladen Ulićević, a professor at University of Montenegro.
