Island Bridge, Steel bridge in Riga, Latvia
Island Bridge is a steel crossing spanning 1795 meters across the Daugava River in Riga with a width of 24 meters. It connects different parts of the city and provides access to the islands of Zaķusala and Lucavsala within the river.
The structure opened on December 10, 1976, during Soviet-era infrastructure development in Latvia. Following the country's independence in 1991, it received its current name.
The bridge carries names in multiple languages, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the Riga region. Locals and visitors experience it as a key crossing point in their daily movement through the city.
The structure has separate areas for pedestrians and vehicles, making it straightforward to navigate. Regular maintenance work keeps it safe and accessible year-round for all crossing needs.
The structure features a dual-deck design with dedicated pathways for pedestrians. This separation of foot traffic from vehicle lanes is a notable feature for visitors exploring the island crossings.
