FAQ

Who built the Bridge of Peace in Tbilisi?

The bridge was designed by Italian architect Michele De Lucchi (of the AMDL Circle studio), and its lighting system by French lighting designer Philippe Martinaud. It was commissioned by the Tbilisi City Hall at the initiative of President Mikheil Saakashvili.

When did the Bridge of Peace open?

On May 6, 2010 - Saint George's Day, the day of Georgia's patron saint. Construction took approximately 269 days.

How long is the Bridge of Peace?

It is 156 meters long and about 5 meters wide. The structure rests on four steel pylons. (The English-language Wikipedia gives a rounded figure of 150 m, but technical documentation and most Russian-language sources cite 156 m.)

How much did the Bridge of Peace cost?

According to official figures from the Tbilisi City Hall, it cost 12.5 million Georgian lari - roughly 7.5 million U.S. dollars at the time of construction. Annual maintenance of the lighting costs about 400,000 lari.

Why is the bridge nicknamed "Always Ultra"?

This is a local nickname: the curved glass canopy visually resembles the shape of a feminine hygiene product from the well-known advertising campaign of the same name. Tbilisi residents and foreign tourists alike use the nickname jokingly. Other unofficial names include "the glass thing" (steklyashka) and "the bridge of love."

What does the Morse code on the bridge mean?

Once every hour, the lighting flashes in a special rhythm, transmitting in Morse code the names of the chemical elements from the Periodic Table that make up the human body. According to lighting designer Philippe Martinaud, this is "a hymn to life and to peace among people and nations" - a symbol that, regardless of nationality, all human beings are made of the same elements.

Can I walk across the bridge for free?

Yes. The bridge is open around the clock, admission is free, and no tickets are required.

When is the best time to visit the Bridge of Peace?

In the evening - ideally during the "blue hour" (15–30 minutes after sunset), when the lighting is already on but the sky has not yet turned fully dark. The lights switch on 90 minutes before sunset and stay on all night, turning off 90 minutes after sunrise.

What is the bridge made of?

The load-bearing structure is built from steel tubes, and the upper canopy from tempered glass. The frame was manufactured entirely in Italy and delivered to Tbilisi on roughly 200 trucks, then assembled on site. The LED fixtures in the canopy and the railing lights were produced by Dutch (Primo Exposures, RENA Electronica) and German (Glas-Platz) companies.

On one side: Old Tbilisi, the sulfur baths of Abanotubani, the Metekhi Church, the monument to Vakhtang Gorgasali, and the path up to Narikala Fortress. On the other side: Rike Park with its singing fountains, the lower station of the cable car to Narikala, the Avlabari Presidential Residence, and the "Periscope" - Massimiliano Fuksas's unfinished music and exhibition center.

An Italian architect and industrial designer (born 1951), one of the founders of radical design and postmodernism, and the founder of the AMDL Circle studio.

    Мост как из будущего, но построили его итальянцы. Ходил туда дважды: днём и ночью. Днём — ничего особенного, просто блестит на солнце. Зато ночью! Включили подсветку, и мост начинает мигать разными цветами. Даже местные ребята рядом говорили: «Каждый раз как в первый раз». Стеклянный пол всех пугает — люди идут, смотрят под ноги, будто боятся провалиться. Я сначала тоже осторожничал, а потом привык. В общем, странно, но забавно. Если будите в Тбилиси обязательно загляните, хотя бы ради фото.

    ბევრი ემოცია მიყვებოდა როდესაც მდგარი ვიყავი ამ საოცარ მოზაიკურ სტრუქტურაზე და თვალაწვდილი ვიყავი ქალაქის და ბუნების განსაცვიფრებელ ხედებზე, რაც ნამდვილად აჯადოებს.

    ეს ხიდი სიზმარისნაირია! ღამე მის პლასტიკურ ზედაპირზე შუქების ციმციმი უბრალოდ ჯადოსნურ გარემოს ქმნის. ხელმისაწვდომობა და სილამაზე ერთად აერთიანებს ძველ და თანამედროვეს. თავს იგრძნობა, როდესაც იდგები შუაგულს და ათვალიერებ ტბილისს ისეთი სიღრმით და დიდებულებით, რომლის სიტყვებით გამოცხადებაც რთულია. თუ გინდათ განმახორციელოთ მემორაბელური რიდი, ამ ხიდზე გავლა ნამდვილად არ უნდა გამოტოვოთ.

    ეს გადასახედი გზა განსაკუთრებულად შთამბეჭდავი და ელეგანტურია, თუმცა ზღვის ტურისტების გაუთავებელი შეთავაზებები შეიძლება მცირე დისკომფორტი გამოიწვიოს.

    გამოვლილი თავგადასავლით აღსავსე ადგილი, სადაც ძველი და ახალი ნაწილი ერთმანეთთან ჩართულია მეჩხერ თაღით.

    საოცარი ემოციებით დატვირთული ბრწყინვალე სეირნობა ვორთგრციფერზე. ეს არის ისეთი ადგილი, სადაც სიცოცხლის სიმღერას და სილამაზეს ვგრძნობ. როცა ლამპები ანათებენ, შესანიშნავად აწვდიან მგზავრობის უნიკალურ გამოცდილებას. შეუძლებელია არ შეიგრძნო სიცოცხლის სიხარული და მშვიდობა, რომელიც გაოცებს და დამატებით გაძლევს ენერგიას. ესაა ადგილი, რომელიც აუცილებლად უნდა დაათვალიეროთ.

    Разводят на катание, как последние мошенники. Берегите свой кошелек и нервы. Светится красиво, да, но впечатления смазываются от циничной наглости. Лучше просто посмотреть издалека и не поддаваться на уловки.

    A serene arc suspended in the air, this unique marvel is more than just a means to cross the river. It feels like walking through a bridge of stars as the twinkling lights whisper a cosmic hymn. The fusion of steel and glass is a symphony, resonating with the life and peace it stands for. A place where time seems to pause, captivating the soul with its quiet elegance.

    Мир мерцает в свете и музыке. Кажется, даже мост здесь живет своей жизнью. Вечером, когда огни загораются, на душе становится спокойно и радостно. Местный колорит добавляют уличные музыканты, создавая удивительную атмосферу. Немного мешает лишь шум от тех, кто предлагает прогулки по реке, но это ничто по сравнению с тем, как место наполняет тебя энергией. Стоит посетить хотя бы ради этих моментов.
