Podul Grant is a bridge that serves both motorway and lightrail transportation in Bucharest, Romania. It is named after Effingham Grant, the British consul in Bucharest during the mid-19th century. Initially, the bridge was made of steel, and opened in 1909. Between 1979 and 1982, the old bridge was mostly demolished, to make way for a brand new concrete one, with slip ramps and wider lanes. Since then, a number of maintenance and modernisation projects have been executed.
