The project was received extremely well by the Bulgarian politicians and intellectuals and in 1889-1891 the construction of the bridge began by the company of the famous Czech brothers Prošek. The construction and decoration of the bridge were the idea of Vaclav Prošek. The bronze figures of the lions were made in Vienna by the Austrian firm Rudolf Philipp Wagner
