Anghel Saligny Bridge, Railway bridge in Cernavodă, Romania
The steel bridge spans 2632 meters across the Danube River, connecting the cities of Cernavodă and Fetești through five main sections.
Engineer Anghel Saligny designed and constructed this railway bridge between 1890 and 1895, marking a milestone in European engineering at that time.
Two sentinel statues of Romanian infantry soldiers, created by French sculptor Léon Pilet, stand at the Cernavodă entrance of the bridge.
The bridge rises 30 meters above water level to accommodate large ships passing underneath through three passages of 140 meters each.
During the inauguration test in 1895, engineer Saligny positioned himself in a boat under the bridge while 15 locomotives crossed at 80 kilometers per hour.
