Long Bridge ( Ger. Lange Brücke , kaszb. Dłudżé bridge [1] ) - pedestrian aquatic in Gdansk on the Main Town , stretching along the west bank of the Motlawa .
Along the street there are water gates characteristic of Gdańsk's architecture . The street was once called Long Bridge
The first mention of the marina on this bank of the Motława River dates back to the 14th century. For centuries, at the place of today's promenade there were unconnected wooden platforms of different heights, used for unloading and unloading ships. In the 17th century they were combined into one bridge
In 1858, during a visit to Gdansk, Jadwiga Łuszczewska described the Long Pobrzeże as follows:
the bridge not thrown by the river but along it [...] built on stilts wide bridge, forming on one side a huge pavement always full of bustle, surrounded by stalls, next to it ships and berlins are passing, so crowded on Motława that it is difficult to see the water
Dlugie Pobrzeze was also a place of borówów - Gdańsk port carnage
After World War II, the street was rebuilt from concrete elements and lined with polished marble slabs.
May 6, 2019, in connection with the construction of a footbridge to the northern promontory of the Granary Island , at the height of the St. Part of the pedestrian promenade by the river collapsed on the river [6] . After analyzing the damage, it was established that the main cause of the event was material consumption: loss of load capacity and progressive corrosion of over a century-old structure, and pile works on the constructed footbridge only accelerated this process . Regardless of this event, after the summer season of 2019 it is anticipated that the renovation of the Long Coast will be commenced, with completion deadline up to November 2022.Read more
