Solkan Stone Bridge Over Soca River
Artist
Dragica Micki Fortuna
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
Solkan stone bridge has the largest stone arch in the world, which represents the highlight of knowledge in bridge building and construction engineering from the beginning of 20th century.
Solkan bridge was built as part of railway line between Trieste and Wien. It is distinguished by exceptional elegance and lightness of stone building and jumps over the Soča as rainbow. With 219.70 meters of length, the bridge rises 36 meters above the middle water level of the river.
It has 85 meters long central bow with light opening. This record so far has not yet been broken, because in the later building techniques they began to use reinforced concrete. Solkan bridge marks the end of the period of thousands of years of constructions of large stone bridges. First concrete bridges, built from 1910, already achieved a range of 100 meters. Solkan bridge was a superior product of Austrian engineering school of bridges and also the last in the generation of large railway bridges, built at the turn of the 19th and 20th century on railways in Austria-Hungary.
