Over the centuries, the bridge has become a vital element of the city's infrastructure. Initially constructed from wood, it was later replaced by a drawbridge made of metal on masonry supports as technology advanced. Over time, the bridge has undergone several renovations and modernizations, including the most recent reconstruction in 2007. This bridge is not only crucial for traffic flow but also stands as a testament to the city's historical and cultural development.

Over the centuries, the bridge has become a vital element of the city's infrastructure. Initially constructed from wood, it was later replaced by a drawbridge made of metal on masonry supports as technology advanced. Over time, the bridge has undergone several renovations and modernizations, including the most recent reconstruction in 2007. This bridge is not only crucial for traffic flow but also stands as a testament to the city's historical and cultural development. Modern bridge technology enables the construction of durable and aesthetically pleasing structures while ensuring they meet all safety and functionality requirements. Drawbridges like this one are technically fascinating due to their ability to allow maritime traffic to pass without interrupting roadway traffic. From wooden structures to contemporary metal bridges, each stage of the bridge's evolution reflects engineering advancements and cultural heritage.
