The bridge has been built in the same position of the old Zezelj bridge, one of the seven bridges destroyed during the bombings over the current Serbian territory, which took place during the war in the former Yugoslavia, in 1999.

The new bridge is a mixed bridge for rail and road. It is 474 metres in length and it has a useful width of 31.8 metres, in addition to two lanes for cyclists and pedestrians. Its two arches are the longest of their typology (double arch bridge with mixed suspended floor for mixed traffic of rail and road vehicles) in Europe, and some of the biggest and heaviest to be launched using this technology. The bridge also stands out among the ones with the greatest span in the world in its typology of double arch with suspended floor.

The Zezelj bridge over the Danube while passing through Novi Sad, once it is put into service, will be crucial for the development of the road traffic in the city and the rail passenger and freight traffic of the line Belgrade-Novi Sad-Subotica-border with Hungary in its connection with Budapest and the south of the Balkan Peninsula.
