Former railway bridge over the Dniester River in Bender (Romanian name Tighina), now in Moldova-Transnistria, during the Great War 1914-1918.

The bridge was destroyed by the French army (some say the Romanian army) in 1919 in order to prevent the entry of the then Romanian territory to the Bolsheviks. The railway line from Chisinau to Odessa crossed the Dniestr at this strategic location.
