Oskara Kalpaka Bridge, Swing bridge in Karosta district, Liepāja, Latvia.
The metal bridge stretches across the Karosta Canal with two identical sections that pivot in opposite directions to allow ship passage.
Built in 1906 as one of Latvia's first metal bridges, the structure underwent complete reconstruction in 2006 after experiencing multiple damages.
The bridge carries the name of Oskars Kalpaks, an important military commander in Latvian history, connecting Karosta district to central Liepāja.
The bridge opens four times daily according to a fixed schedule: 01:00-05:00, 10:30-12:00, 14:30-15:30, and 19:30-21:00 for maritime traffic.
Despite its metal construction, the bridge surface features wooden boards, while a live webcam stream shows its current operational status.
