Baratashvili Bridge
Baratashvili Bridge is a traffic and pedestrian bridge over the Kura River in Tbilisi, capital of Georgia. It was built in 1966 in place of the previously dismantled Mukhrani Bridge honoring Princess Mukhrani.Design
The bridge, located in Mtasminda district of the city, is often referred to as Bridge of Love, in reference to its current name given in honor of Georgian romanticism poet Nikoloz Baratashvili. The railings of the bridge have been decorated with bronze figures of couples in love. The bridge stretches over Mtkvari River in parallel to the picturesque Bridge of Peace and extends to Tbilisi Airport through a recently renovated highway. The bridge and the highway were renovated by Khidmsheni construction company.
