Commemorative plaque of the Grain Bridge

The Grain Bridge (Шаблон:Lang-sl) is a footbridge over the Ljubljanica River in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It is located between Tanner Street (Шаблон:Lang) and Gestrin Street (Шаблон:Lang), and links the Petkovšek Embankment (Шаблон:Lang) on the left side of the river and the Poljane Embankment (Шаблон:Lang) on its right side. It is used by local residents and students of the Poljane Grammar School and has relieved of pedestrians the St. Peter's Bridge and the Dragon Bridge.[1]

Name

The bridge is named after Grain Square, which is the old name of the nearby Ambrož Square (Шаблон:Lang) that was used in the 19th century for grain trade.[2]

Construction

The construction of the bridge took place upon the plans by the architect Boris Podrecca. It was financed by the Mons company, owned by Jože Anderlič. The ceremonial unveiling took place on 24 August 2010.[3] In September 2010, Janez Koželj, a professor of urban design and a vice-mayor of the City Municipality of Ljubljana, described the bridge as an "exceptionally beautiful art work".[1]
