Gerdzhika Bridge, Concrete bridge in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
The Gerdzhika Bridge extends 165 meters across the Maritsa River, connecting the Ruski Boulevard with the Karshiyaka district of Plovdiv.
Construction of the bridge started in November 1930 and completed in May 1931, requiring 19 million levs despite multiple setbacks from river flooding.
The bridge received its current name in recognition of engineer Parvan Gerdzhikov, who worked alongside Iliya Draganov and architect Ivan Naidenov.
The structure serves as a primary transportation route between Central Station and Filipovo Station, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
In 2008, a parallel bridge opened next to the original Gerdzhika Bridge to manage increased traffic flow through separate directional lanes.
