A majestic railway bridge built in the 1950s, the longest ferroconcrete railway bridge in Europe. It was built by forced labour of members of the intelligentsia, who were transferred to manual professions by rule of communist government. As a monument to the stupidity of the communist rulers, only a single rail was laid on the two-rail bridge, because the second rail didn't fit into the tunnel on one bank. The bridge remains in service to this day and is used mainly for freight trains.
