Rooster Bridge

The Rooster Bridge[1] (Slovene: Petelinji most, Petelinja brv, Petelinov most,[2][3] Tenente[4]) in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is a footbridge crossing the Gradaščica River in the Trnovo District south of the downtown of Ljubljana.

It stands between the Trnovo Bridge and the outflow of the Gradaščica into the Ljubljanica,[5]: 127  and connects Gradaščica Street (Gradaška ulica) in the northern Krakovo neighbourhood (left bank) to Eipper Street (Eipprova ulica) in the southern Trnovo neighbourhood (right bank).

[6][7] These are the oldest Ljubljana suburbs, known for their market gardens and cultural events.

[2] The alternate name Tenente is derived from the former Lieutenant's Inn (Pri Tenenteju).

[11] The current structure, which replaced it in November that year,[11] was built by the constructor Matko Curk according to plans by the architect Jože Plečnik, who had designed it as part of his Water Axis along the Ljubljanica.
