Bridge of Peace, Steel and glass footbridge in Tbilisi, Georgia

The Bridge of Peace is a bow-shaped pedestrian bridge over the Kura River, linking Rike Park with Old Tbilisi. Its curvy steel framework carries a canopy of translucent glass panels, and the structure rests on four supports. The 156-metre span was built in Italy and assembled on site.

The bridge was ordered by Tbilisi City Hall on the initiative of President Mikheil Saakashvili, with the idea arising after the August 2008 Russo-Georgian War. Italian architect Michele De Lucchi designed it and French designer Philippe Martinaud created the lighting. The steel structure was built in Italy and shipped to Tbilisi in 200 trucks, and the bridge opened on 6 May 2010.

Locals nicknamed it the "Always Ultra" bridge for its shape, a joke that spread alongside its popularity. Every hour a Morse code message spelling out the periodic table runs across the two parapets, which lighting designer Philippe Martinaud called a celebration of life and peace between people.

The bridge sits between Metekhi and Baratashvili bridges, providing a direct pedestrian route from Erekle II Street to Rike Park. The walkway is flat and straightforward, making it easy for visitors on foot to cross from one bank to the other.

The roof carries 1,208 custom LED fixtures, and 240 motion sensors in the glass railings switch on the low-power railing lights as each pedestrian steps onto the deck.
