Branko's Bridge

This guide to Branko's Bridge in Belgrade reads the crossing as a piece of engineering: steel, spans, and the stubborn geometry of the Sava. It reaches back to the King Alexander Bridge of the nineteen thirties, the German and French firms that built it, and the April night in nineteen forty-one when the war came to this river. Best heard at the railing, looking along the underside of the deck toward the piers.
