Kosinj Bridge

Kosinj Bridge (Croatian: Kosinjski most) is a stone bridge, seventy feet long in Lika, Croatia. It connects the Upper and Lower Kosinj. It was designed in the 19th century designer Milivoj Frković, and was modelled on the old Croatian bridge building technique "uklinjenjem stone." The bridge features piers designed to reduce or eliminate scour damage.[1]

The construction of the bridge began in 1929. In 1936, it was opened to traffic. Length of the bridge abutment is 70 feet, a width between 5.5 metres of stone parapets.
