Victory Bridge of Tartu

Victory Bridge is a reinforced concrete bridge built in 1952-1957 in the center of Tartu which helps to cross the Big Mother River to other border of Tartu. The bridge was given it's current name in 1965 to mark the 20th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The executive commitee of Tartu City Council of People's Deputies made a decision on May 7, 1965, referring to the proposal of the veterans of the Great Patriotic War. A nameplate was also installed on the bridge.
