Jiu Bridge

About

Jiu Bridge (Romanian: Podul Jiului) is a historic truss bridge across the Jiu River. It consisted of five arches mounted on pillars and connected two parts of the city of Târgu Jiu, Romania, where the streets Unirii and Calea Severinului meet. At the end of the 20th century, three of the original five arches have been moved one kilometer north from their initial location, to form a shorter bridge that connects Târgu Jiu Central park with an artificial island on the Jiu river.
