3D Model

The Solkan Bridge is a 219.7-meter (721 ft) arch bridge over the Soča River near Nova Gorica in western Slovenia. With an arch span of 85 meters (279 ft), it is the world’s longest stone arch railroad bridge. It was originally built to carry the Bohinj Railway in the time of the Vienna Secession, between 1900 and 1905, and officially opened in 1906. The bridge was designed by the architect Rudolf Jaussner and engineer Leopold Oerley, initially with an 80-meter (260 ft) stone arch, and built between 1904 and 1905. On July 19, 1906, the Bohinj Railway (Slovene: Bohinjska proga) from Jesenice to Gorica was inaugurated. In August 1916, during the First World War, Austrian soldiers destroyed the bridge to prevent the invading italian forces from using it. After the 12th Isonzo battle the Austrian army built a steel construction where the bridge once stood. After the war in April 1925 the Italians started to build a new bridge, which was finished in 1927. more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solkan_Bridge
