We celebrated the New Year there! It was super cool! It was emotional, positive, joyful, unusual, magical, unifying...!
There were a lot of people on the bridge, everyone was counting down, then fireworks from all sides (I've never seen so many of them in my life), congratulations from strangers! Words cannot convey all my emotions 🥰 I liked it very much! This bridge is like my own bridge now.
The modern design of the bridge stands out strongly against the background of the historical architecture of the Old City of Tbilisi, which arouses a steady interest among tourists. The bridge is pedestrian and connects the two parts of the city across the Kura River. On one side is Old Tbilisi and Irakli II St., on the other is Rike Park in Avlabar, the authorities wanted to show how traditions harmonize with innovations, "The Bridge of Peace is a dialogue between the past and the future," as Saakashvili said. The bridge looks especially attractive at night, thanks to the incredible illumination, 30,000 computer-controlled LED lamps light up on the bridge every evening. They transmit a message in Morse code — this is the periodic table of elements, a symbol of scientific progress. It not only creates beauty, but also transmits messages encrypted using Morse code. The point is that despite the differences in peoples, races, and cultures, all people are made up of the same chemical elements. This means that everyone is united, and there should be peace between people, hence the name – the Bridge of Peace. It is very unusual to be on the bridge, just in the middle it even feels like it sways from the movement of people, who are always enough on it. It is interesting to visit such a modern bridge.
