Jiu Bridge, Historic bridge in Târgu Jiu, Romania.
The Jiu Bridge spans across the Jiu River with three relocated arches connecting the Central Park to an artificial island.
The bridge, constructed in 1896 by Daydé & Pillé of Paris, became a key strategic point during the fierce battles of World War I in 1916.
The bridge forms part of a larger architectural complex near the monumental works created by sculptor Constantin Brancusi in Târgu Jiu.
The structure provides pedestrian access between the city center and recreational areas while serving as a connection point for local transportation routes.
Three of the original five metal arches were moved one kilometer north from their initial position to create a shorter crossing over the river.
