Excerpt from Wikipedia
Podul Grant (Grant Bridge) is a bridge for motorway and lightrail in Bucharest, Romania. It is named after Effingham Grant, the British consul in Bucharest in the mid-19th century. Initially, the bridge was made of steel, and opened in 1910. Between 1979 and 1982, the old bridge was mostly demolished, to make way for a brand new concrete one, with slip ramps and wider lanes. Since then, a number of maintenance and modernisation projects have been executed.
The bridge is passed by a tram way (line 41), which was upgraded while Traian Băsescu was mayor, becoming the first lightrail line in Bucharest.
Today, the bridge connects Crângași Square with Turda Street, crossing West-East over Giulești Boulevard, the railroads and Griviţa Boulevard. It is one of the symbols of the football club Rapid Bucureşti, its stadium being located right by the bridge.
The bridge is currently closed to all traffic, in order to allow its renovation to undergo, as of 1 July 2019. Preparatory works began earlier before.
