THE SOUL OF RIGA
Winter Light over the Railway Bridge
History & Facts
The Riga Railway Bridge was inaugurated in 1914 and remains the city’s only railway bridge across the Daugava River. Though rebuilt several times, it has retained its iconic metal arch silhouette.

Interesting
The bridge serves both passenger and freight trains. At night, it is illuminated with dynamic lighting that changes colors and reflects across the Daugava.

Author’s Note
The winter sun created a striking contrast here. Through the branches and steel arches, the bridge felt like a gateway of light over the frozen river.
