June 9, 2004 was the last day of tram operation at Paton Bridge. This is how almost 50-year history of tram connection between two river banks ended. This little project is aimed to keep the memory of stretch between Kontraktova Pl. and Leningradska Pl. photos and some historic data.

Each chapter contains photogallery with short description. For English readers we kept mostly information on trams, omitting some information which, in our opinion, is interesting to local people only. However, if you feel that you want more detailed information fell free to contact me.
