Island Bridge, Steel bridge in Riga, Latvia

The Island Bridge extends 1795 meters across the Daugava River with a width of 24 meters, connecting different sections of Riga through its steel structure.

The bridge, initially named Moscow Bridge until 1991, opened on December 10, 1976, during a period of infrastructure development in Soviet-era Latvia.

The structure carries names in multiple languages, including Salu tilts in Latvian and Ostromost in Russian, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the region.

Regular maintenance and reconstruction efforts, including a substantial renovation project in 2018 costing 19.6 million euros, ensure the bridge's operational safety.

The dual-deck layout includes dedicated paths for pedestrians alongside vehicle lanes, providing access to Zaķusala and Lucavsala islands within the Daugava River.
