Eiffel bridge

The metal bridge spans across the Tsemistskali River, connecting two sections of the narrow-gauge railway line between Borjomi and Bakuriani.

The bridge was commissioned in 1897 by Mikhail Romanov from Gustave Eiffel's company, which had previously constructed the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The bridge represents a fusion of French engineering and Georgian construction expertise, with local engineer Besarion Keburia managing its assembly.

Trains on the Kukushka railroad line continue to cross this bridge daily, offering passengers views of the surrounding mountain landscape.

The structure maintains its original metalwork design from the Eiffel company, making it a rare example of 19th-century French industrial architecture in Georgia.
