The mighty viaduct, which commanded respect and admiration in its time, is no more today. Only the 21st pillar from the direction of Ljubljana reminds us of it. A fault in the ignition of the explosive preserved it, and in January 1992 it was declared a technical monument. Today, under the preserved pillar stands a board with a description and a model of the former bridge.

This is really interesting. The same engineer who built the Semmering Railway with its numerous viaducts built a two-story viaduct here to cross the valley in a loop and gain altitude. First the Yugoslav army and then the Germans blew up the viaduct down to one pillar.
