The Apollo Bridge carries its name after the “Apollo” oil refinery (predecessor of Slovnaft) which used to lie on the left river bank in this area before World War II and became a target of aerial bombing of American airplanes in 1944. They opened the bridge on the 4th September 2005 and its construction, starting in 2003, took 30 months. The project of this bridge was however created longer time ago, in 1973.
The Old Bridge was opened for the first time on 30th December 1890. It was named after emperor Franz Josef , the ruler of Austria-Hungarian Empire. The bridge had served for 45 years before being blown up by the retreating German army in 1945. The commies reconstructed it in 1946.
