Michael Bridge

The Michael Bridge spans the Mtkvari River and connects different parts of Tbilisi together. It is built from stone and reinforced concrete and is used daily by many people.

The bridge was built in the mid-1800s under Russian rule and opened in 1853. It became a key connection between city sections during that era.

The bridge serves as a daily passage for locals moving between neighborhoods and shapes how people experience the riverside. Its name reflects both Georgian and European influences, connecting different cultural layers of the city.

The bridge is easy to cross on foot and connects both sides of the city directly. It can be visited at any time of day and offers views of the river and surrounding architecture.

The structure combines old stone methods with modern reinforced concrete in a way that shows the technological transitions of the late 1800s. This blend of materials and methods is a quiet testament to the engineering of that era.
