    Abstract On the 20th July 2018, it was the 50th anniversary of the day when the Lorupe viaduct was opened. Its idea, design and construction were a significant turning point in bridge construction in the whole Soviet Union. In the comparatively small Republic of Latvia it was a unique project that required a lot of boldness and skills of road workers. Therefore, construction of this bridge is memorable, especially since several bridges were built using this technology later in the former Soviet Union. Latvian road workers with their courage, creative and meticulous work implemented a European scale project in difficult, constrained circumstances.
