Congressman McCloskey Bridge

This bridge is also known to Sarajevans as the Otoka Bridge, and was built in 1974 as a project done by Traser and it’s interesting to note that this project bureau also built a bridge on Topal Osman Paše Street, to join the Sarajevo neighborhoods of Grbavica and Socijalno.

In 2010 the bridge was named after Francis Xavier “Frank” McCloskey, a six-term Democratic representative in the U.S. Congress.

Congressman McCloskey (1939-2003) proved himself to be a true friend of Bosnia and Herzegovina during our last war by working tirelessly to stop the craziness of the fighting.
