点评:I biked by this bridge while visiting the Brda Region crossing back and forth between Slovenia and Italy. Beautiful area. With a span of 85 meters (279 ft), the Solkan Bridge is the world's longest stone arch railroad bridge (second longest if you count road bridges). This masterpiece was finished in 1905, as part of a railway between Gorica and Jesenice (from SW to NE Slovenia).
They used 4,533 ashlar (square-cut) blocks in its construction. The Solkan bridge holds this record because later construction technology used reinforced concrete to build bridges.
The first train from Vienna arrived at the port of Trieste in 1906. The bridge was demolished during WWI. However, they were able to rebuild it following the original plans (with the minor difference of using 4 sub-arches instead of the original 5, and slightly different curvature) and is still serving its purpose to date.
Then the bridge was spared. During WW2, it suffered only minimal damage from bomb attacks. On August 10, 1944, bombs did not hit the bridge; on March 15, 1945, the bomb that hit the bridge did not explode.
In 1985, the Solkan Bridge was acknowledged as a technical monument and thus enjoy special protection.
Enjoy the view of this grand structure over the greenish-blue water of the Soča River.
翻译:我在游览布尔达地区时骑自行车经过这座桥,往返于斯洛文尼亚和意大利之间。美丽的地区。索尔坎大桥跨度为 85 米(279 英尺),是世界上最长的石拱铁路桥(如果算上公路桥,则为第二长)。这座杰作于 1905 年竣工,是戈里察和耶塞尼采(从斯洛文尼亚西南部到东北部)之间铁路的一部分。
他们在建造过程中使用了 4,533 块方石(方形切割)块。索尔坎桥保持着这一记录,因为后来的建筑技术使用了钢筋混凝土来建造桥梁。
1906 年,第一列从维也纳出发的火车抵达的里雅斯特港。这座桥在第一次世界大战期间被拆除。然而,他们能够按照最初的计划重建它(细微差别是使用 4 个子拱而不是原来的 5 个,并且曲率略有不同),并且至今仍在发挥其作用。
然后这座桥就幸免了。第二次世界大战期间,它仅因炸弹袭击而受到最小程度的损害。 1944 年 8 月 10 日,炸弹没有击中桥; 1945年3月15日,击中大桥的炸弹没有爆炸。
1985年,索尔坎大桥被认定为技术纪念碑,因此受到特殊保护。
欣赏索察河蓝绿色水面上这座宏伟建筑的景色。
