Līkais tilts, known as the Curved Bridge, is a pedestrian suspension bridge spanning the Ogre River in the town of Ogre, Latvia. Constructed in 1966, it serves as a vital pedestrian connection between the residential areas and the city center. The bridge is structurally notable for its arched, suspension-style design that provides a slight elevation and curvature over the water. It serves as a scenic vantage point overlooking the confluence of the Ogre and Daugava rivers. The structure is illuminated at night, allowing for visibility during evening hours. It is located near the town's central park areas, making it a common pathway for local walkers and cyclists.
Stand on the riverbank path parallel to the bridge to capture the full curvature and structural span of the architecture.
Visit during sunset for the best lighting conditions against the river backdrop.
The bridge surface can be slippery during winter months or after rainfall; wear appropriate footwear.
Take a short walk along the riverbank trails after crossing for a better view of the bridge's profile.
Do not attempt to climb or jump from the bridge railing, as it is a public thoroughfare and dangerous.
