Rooster Bridge
The Rooster Bridge[1] (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang".,[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]Template:Rp and connects Gradaščica Street (Script error: No such module "Lang".) in the northern Krakovo neighbourhood (left bank) to Eipper Street (Script error: No such module "Lang".) in the southern Trnovo neighbourhood (right bank).[6][7] These are the oldest Ljubljana suburbs, known for their market gardens and cultural events.[8]
Name
The Rooster Bridge was named for a nearby inn (at 10 Gradaščica Street), known as Pri petelinu 'At the Rooster'.[2] The alternate name Tenente is derived from the former Lieutenant's Inn (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[9][10]
History and design

A wooden footbridge stood at the site until 1931.[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.[5]Template:Rp It is a simple iron and concrete footbridge,[10] supported by two horseshoe-like arches and a strong fence,[12] which consists of concrete boundary markers, linked with a metal pipe.[13] As Plečnik's heritage, it has been protected as cultural heritage of national significance since 2009.[14]
