Ferry Dignāja–Līvāni Infrastructure

The ferry is made from Russian army pontoons, a pontoon bridge intended for transporting tanks. Such modules were intended to be reinforced and a pontoon bridge was created so that military equipment could move across it. Specifically, this ferry has survived from the legacy left by the occupiers.

The ferry connects the banks of the Daugava and is the most direct route from Latgale to Sēlija and Zemgale. For many it is exotic, but for local residents of the riverbanks it is a very important means of daily transportation. The ferry services are used by both pedestrians and car and bicycle riders. It is also an opportunity to encounter the past in person. Currently, only two ferries operate in Latvia – in Līvāni and Līgatne.

Useful information: large buses are not lifted by the transfer, as the buses are too low, so it is physically impossible to drive onto the transfer platform. Passenger vans with up to 20 seats can be transferred.
