Path of Light across the Daugava — Stone Bridge
History & Facts
The Stone Bridge was opened in 1957 and was originally called the October Bridge. It connects Old Riga with Pārdaugava and remains one of the city’s key transport arteries.

Interesting
The bridge is about 500 meters long and carries both public transport and private vehicles. Nearby stands the Latvian National Library — the “Castle of Light.”

Author’s Note
