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.

The Rooster Bridge (1931) connects Krakovo and Trnovo .
