History
The iron bridge, built in 1896, was the first permanent road bridge in the town on the Maros, previously there was a pontoon bridge. The location of the bridge was the subject of a long dispute between the German and Vlach citizens of the town, and a compromise was finally reached to build it in a location that did not suit the interests of either party. The bridge connects Lippa and Radna and is 144 metres long. Today it is an industrial monument, the new bridge on the Maros was built between 1991 and 1999.
