Railway Bridge over Daugava in Riga, Steel railway bridge across Daugava River, Riga, Latvia
The Railway Bridge extends over 600 feet across the Daugava River, featuring a steel construction that allows trains to connect different parts of the city.
The initial iron railway bridge, constructed between 1871 and 1872 for the Riga-Jelgava Railway, underwent reconstruction in 1914 following damage during both World Wars.
The bridge remains the principal railway crossing point in Riga, representing the industrial growth of Latvia through its connection to national transportation networks.
Trains crossing the bridge link multiple regions of Latvia, with plans for integration into the Rail Baltica project to enhance international railway connections.
The structure incorporates remnants of the former iron bridge within its pylons, marking the evolution of railway engineering across three centuries.
