Stone Bridge, Steel bridge in Riga, Latvia.

The Stone Bridge stretches 503 meters across the Daugava River with a width of 27 meters, featuring decorative railings along its sidewalks.

Originally named October Bridge during its construction in 1955, the structure received its current name Stone Bridge after Latvia regained independence in 1992.

The bridge reflects the architectural preferences of the 1950s, incorporating steel construction methods while maintaining symmetrical design principles of that period.

The bridge serves as the primary crossing point for Riga's tram system, connecting different districts while accommodating both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

The structure includes 3.5-meter-wide walkways on both sides, allowing pedestrians to observe the river and city landscapes during their crossing.
