The Hradecky Bridge (Slovene: Hradeckega most) is a footbridge spanning the Ljubljanica River in Ljubljana,[1] the capital of Slovenia.

[6] The bridge's modular construction has made it relatively easy to relocate, and it has been moved twice.

By virtue of its location on the route used to transport decedents from Ljubljana's main hospital to the city mortuary (between 1931 and 2010), it gained the somber nickname "Bridge of the Dead" (Mrtvaški most),[3] which remains in colloquial use.

[6] In 1931, the architect Jože Plečnik designed the current iteration of the Cobblers' Bridge,[3] moving the Hradecky Bridge further down the Ljubljanica to a site near the former Ljubljana mortuary on Zaloška Street,[3] at which point he also replaced the original gas lamps at its corners with Secession-style concrete spires housing electric street-lamps.

[6] In 2004, the bridge (which had never been intended for motor vehicles) was determined to be unsafe and was closed to all traffic, with a temporary footbridge built alongside it in 2009.
