Zagreb has seven road traffic bridges across the [[Sava|river Sava]], and they all span both the river and the [[levee]]s, making them all by and large longer than {{cvt|200|m|ft}}. In downstream order, these are:

|Four lane road bridge

There are also two rail traffic bridges across the Sava, one near the Sava bridge and one near [[Mičevec]], as well as two bridges that are part of the [[Zagreb bypass]], one near [[Zaprešić]] (west), and the other near [[Ivanja Reka]] (east).

Two additional bridges across the river [[Sava]] are proposed: Jarun Bridge and Bundek Bridge.

Two additional bridges across the river Sava are planned in 2008: Jarun Bridge and Bundek Bridge (which will most likely be named in honor of [[John Paul II]]).<ref name=zageb_most>{{cite web |url=http://www.poslovni.hr/23823.aspx |title=Two new bridges in Zagreb |work=Poslovni dnevnik |access-date=6 October 2006 |language=hr}}</ref>

====Tunnels====
A recent traffic study of Zagreb's city center proposes building seven tunnels underneath the city center.{{cn}} The number of cars in the city center is rising by 4% every year and current traffic levels require a widening of the road infrastructure. A particular problem is [[Ilica (street)|Ilica]] Street, which has high amounts of both cars, tram, and pedestrian traffic. Any widening of this street would take some space from the pedestrians. The tunnels would triple the downtown road capacity and allow the cars to travel at {{cvt|50|km/h}} at [[peak hour]]. The seven tunnels would also help solve the problem of the unfinished [[Sljeme tunnel]], which has been a citywide nuisance for a long time.

The proposed tunnels would have an underground interchange near Jabukovac street in the hills north of the city center. Three tunnels (one of which would have two tubes) would connect the future Jabukovac interchange with the city center. Another tunnel would connect Jabukovac to [[Gupčeva zvijezda]], one would go to Zelengaj north of Britanski square and the third one would go to Vončinina Street, about {{cvt|1|km|mi}} east of Jabukovac. There would also be a tunnel connecting Draškovićeva Street to [[Ribnjak, Zagreb]], eliminating the long and often congested bypass which uses smaller streets near [[Žrtava Fašizma Square]].

Should the proposal be accepted, it would take three years to build the tunnels.<ref name=tuneli>{{cite web |url=http://www.sutra.hr/gradski-ritam/tunelima-kroz-centar-zagreba |title=Tunelima kroz centar Zagreba |access-date=27 November 2007 |last=Šimunović |first=Damjan |date=24 November 2007 |work=Sutra.hr |language=hr}}</ref>
