Tri-Bridges are 3-way bridges on which traffic crosses two
water streams or a body of water/lake from 3 directions and one can travel from
any direction to any direction. There are not many such bridges in the World. In
2009 I started searching for such bridges around the World and could find only
13 such bridges which were included in the post -
Tri-bridges Around the World. These have also been placemarked and included in Google Earth Community Forum.
Recently Artistic Google group took me to Croatia and
while roaming its countryside in the virtual Word of Google Street view I came
across another Tri-bridge located in the small village of Jasenovac on the Bosnia and Herzegovina border.
The original 1973 bridge at this location, across the Sava
and Una Rivers, was destroyed by Serb forces during the 1991 conflict. A new "Y"
shaped bridge was built in 2005. One arm of the bridge starts from Jasenovac
spanning the Sava river with Y-junction in the Uštica. The second arm takes the
traffic to Uštica and the third arm which spans the Una river, crosses the
international border connecting Croatia with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Source of info: Serendipity brought me to this bridge and not much info is
available about it on the Net. However some brief reference can be found in
Wikipedia.
