Southern Bridge, Steel bridge in Riga, Latvia
The Southern Bridge spans the Daugava River with six traffic lanes, stretching 803 meters in length and standing 13 meters above the water.
Construction of the Southern Bridge began in 2004, leading to its official inauguration on November 17, 2008, after four years of extensive work.
The local population refers to the structure as the Golden Bridge, referencing the substantial cost increase from 154 million to 811 million euros during construction.
The bridge maintains a clearance of 8.5 meters above the river, enabling both vehicle traffic and water vessels to operate efficiently throughout the year.
The State Audit Office investigation revealed that 27 million lats were improperly managed during the construction phase of this infrastructure project.
