There is an impressive pedestrian bridge built across the Sava River which connects the centre of Sremska Mitrovica and Mačvanska Mitrovica.

The geographic position of the town is highly favorable due to the proximity of motorway, international railroad, ‘Nikola Tesla’ airport (60km away), the sports airport in Veliki Radinci, as well as to the fact that the town is situated on the Sava River and its waterway connects it to important destinatios all over the European continent.

Another characteristic of a modern urban settlement that this town has is a modern regional road R-103 with two traffic lanes and two roundabouts. The road infrastructure is continuously being revitalized, so the city, besides having better local roads, has recently got two more roundabouts in residental blocks.

The high water level of the Sava River has been under control since the embankments were built and they have valuable and longterm importance for this town which is situated along both river banks of the Sava River.
