New Bridge in Kosovska Mitrovica

The New Bridge (also known as Mitrovica Bridge or Ibar River Bridge) is a steel truss bridge crossing the Ibar river in Kosovska Mitrovica, in northern Kosovo. It was built in 2005 by the French KFOR.

The New Bridge is one of three bridges over the Ibar River in Kosovska Mitrovica. The other two, one leading to the railway station, and the other being an abandoned railway bridge, are only lightly used. The New Bridge is the main crossing point for people going from one side of the city to the other.

The New Bridge has become an iconic symbol of Kosovo division, as it separates around 80,000 Kosovo Albanians in the south from about half as many Serbs living in the north. It is used as a military checkpoint and provides a defacto border between Serbia and Kosovo.
