Red Bridge

The Red Bridge is a reinforced concrete structure that spans across a waterway in Sukhumi, connecting two sections of the city. The solid construction features a straightforward design typical of mid-twentieth-century infrastructure projects.

Built in 1951, the bridge emerged as part of Sukhumi's post-war reconstruction efforts following World War II. Its construction represented an important step in restoring and expanding the city's transportation network.

The bridge stands as a central element in Sukhumi's urban landscape, connecting communities and facilitating daily interactions between different neighborhoods.

The bridge is generally accessible to visitors, though it is advisable to check local conditions before crossing. Asking residents or accommodation providers about current situation and best times to visit can provide helpful guidance.

The bridge's position at coordinates 43.0012° latitude and 41.0337° longitude places it near one of Georgia's remaining minefields, requiring specific safety protocols.
