Outcome reported
- Serbian Army personnel dismantled the 345-meter pontoon bridge connecting Lido beach with the Zemun shoreline.
- A pontoon unit from the River Flotilla staffed and maintained the bridge throughout the summer season.
- The bridge provided public access to the beach and supported training for the army’s pontoon units.
The Serbian Army has dismantled the pontoon bridge that connected Lido city beach on Great War Island with the Zemun side of the Danube, marking the end of this year’s deployment at Lido.
A duty crew from the River Flotilla’s pontoon unit operated at the site throughout the summer. Its responsibilities included maintaining the bridge and helping ensure safe, uninterrupted access to the beach for visitors.
The bridge, installed at the end of June, measured 345 meters and had a total load capacity of 20 tonnes. It consisted of 38 pontoon sections.
The Serbian Army has carried out the crossing for years in cooperation with the Zemun municipal tourist organization. The experience gained in transporting, assembling and dismantling the structure also contributes to the training and readiness of the army’s pontoon units for their assigned tasks.
