New Bridge, Mitrovica

The New Bridge (also known as Mitrovica Bridge or Ibar River Bridge) is a steel truss bridge crossing the Ibar river in Mitrovica, in northern Kosovo. 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 de facto border between the northern Serbian enclaves and the rest of Kosovo.
