The swing bridge in Karosta, one of the oldest in Liepāja and Latvia, is a prominent example of engineering. The design of the bridge was after French engineer Alexander Gustav Eifel (1832 -1923) drawings. The bridge has two similar girders which are parted by 90°. It takes about 4-5 minutes to apply the operation by means of an electric motor or a windlass. The bridge has been damaged several times. In 2006 the northern part of the bridge was damaged by the tanker ship “Anna”, sailing under Georgian flag.
