Most Gazela je bio projekat od državnog značaja i deo je autoputa koji je povezivao bivše zemlje SFRJ. Građen je od 1966. do 1970. godine, dok je prva velika rekonstrukcija bila od 2010. do 2012. godine.
Sa dužinom od 332 metra i širinom od 27.5, prvobitno je planirano u projektu da preko njega pređe oko 40.000 vozila u toku dana ali je ta brojka značajno skočila, gotovo 4 puta više! Ispod nje protiče reka Sava od toga je most udaljen na visini od 23 metra tokom srednjeg vodostaja.
Naziv “Gazela” dobio je po ideji Đorđa Lazarevića, predsednika konkursne komisije. Naime, u šali je rečeno da je most preskočio reku poput gazele, i tako je most imenovan.
Gradnju su izvodile tada vodeće firme u državi, ,,Mostogradnja” i ,,Goša”, a ispitivanje nosivosti mosta uživo je prenosila Televizija Beograd!
U prisustvu Josipa Broza Tita i Branka Pešića most je otvoren zvanično 1970. godine, 4. decembra.

This municipality offers a number of interesting things, starting with historical buildings, nightlife throughout the week, visiting museums, religious buildings, sports events, sailing on rivers and parts that are known only to locals, and which once you visit – you will definitely want to come back. ! The Gazelle Bridge was a project of national importance and is part of the highway that connected the former countries of the SFRY. It was built from 1966 to 1970, while the first major reconstruction was from 2010 to 2012. With a length of 332 meters and a width of 27.5, it was originally planned in the project that about 40,000 vehicles would pass over it during the day, but that number jumped significantly, almost 4 times more! Below it flows the river Sava, from which the bridge is located at a height of 23 meters during the middle water level. The name “Gazela” was given by the idea of Đorđe Lazarevic, the president of the competition committee. Namely, it was jokingly said that the bridge jumped over the river like a gazelle, and that’s how the bridge was named. The construction was carried out by the then leading companies in the country, “Mostogradnja” and “Goša”, and the test of the bridge’s bearing capacity was broadcast live by Television Belgrade! In the presence of Josip Broz Tito and Branko Pešić, the bridge was officially opened in 1970, on December 4.
