The Dobra Bridge is located between Karlovac and Novigrad interchanges of the A1 motorway in Croatia, spanning Dobra River. It is 546 metres (1,791 ft) long, and it comprises four traffic lanes and two emergency lanes.

Construction work on the Dobra Bridge started in 1999 and was completed in 2001.[1] Cost of the construction work was 57 million Croatian kuna (7.7 million euro). During the construction there was one major incident: on 1 July 2000, three girders plummeted from the main span piers into the river below. The incident did not cause any injury and damage was reported to be marginal.[2]
