Slovak Republic - Bratislava - Nový Most - New Bridge - Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising - Road bridge over Dunaj - Danube River

    It is the 32nd-tallest, and thus shortest, member of the World Federation of Great Towers, and is the only bridge to be a member. It is the world's longest cable-stayed bridge to have one pylon and one cable-stayed plane. It is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge with a main span length of 303 metres. Its steel construction is suspended from steel cables, connected on the Petržalka side to two pillars. The total length of the bridge is 430.8 metres, its width 21 metres, and it weighs 7537 tonnes.

    A special attraction is its flying saucer-shaped structure housing a restaurant, called "UFO" (since 2005; previously called Bystrica), on the bridge's 84.6 metre pylon. The restaurant is reached using an elevator situated in the left pillar, and offers a good view over Bratislava. In the right pillar there is an emergency staircase with 430 stairs.

    Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II; Lens: 17.00 - 40.00 mm; Focal length: 40.00 mm; Aperture: 20; Exposure time: 32.0 s; ISO: 100
