The bridge seen in August 1889

The Gauja River Railway Bridge crosses the Gauja River in Ūdriņi, Latvia as part of the Riga–Valka–Pskov railway line. It was opened around 1889.[1]

Where the bridge crosses the river there are small rapids named "Strenču", containing six steps, which can be navigated using canoes.[2]
