This marvellous modern bridge extending from ul. Św. Ducha to Granary Island opened as recently as August 2020. Quite a novelty, the bridge has a fixed base running parallel to the riverbank on which the bridge rests when closed for pedestrians so that boats may pass through; the bridge then pivots 90 degrees to allow pedestrians to cross. When the bridge is resting on its base it resembles a submarine cresting out of the water.
The footbridge works on a regular schedule posted on either side. Basically from April to October the bridge rotates every 30mins between 9:00 and 20:00, staying open for pedestrians overnight. In the period from November 1 to March 31, the footbridge is available for pedestrians 24 hours a day, excluding drawdowns reported at the request of vessels.
