History
The new bed of the Béga was constructed between 1906 and 1909, and a series of new bridges were built over the canal. The bridge was built in 1909 and was renamed after Mihai Viteazul by the Romanian invaders. Between the two world wars, the bridge had 4 towers decorated with reliefs and a tramway. In 1981 the reliefs were placed at the ends of the bridges. They depict a female figure holding the town's coat of arms, a miller with a flour sack, a worker loading a boat and a tanner.
