Bumazhny Canal

Рубрикатор / City Topography/Waterways and Currents/Canals
Bumazhny Canal (Paper Canal) was dug between the Ekaterinhofka River and the Tarakanovka River for practical purposes in the second half of the 18th century. It bears its name from the Ekaterinhof Cotton Mill (today, the spinning mill Sovetskaya Zvezda). The Canal is 1.1 km long, 10 meters wide and from 0.30 to 1 meter deep. It deviates from the Ekaterinhofka river on the left below the Obvodny Canal mouth, surmounts Ekaterinhof Park from the north and flows into the Tarakanovka River at Sutugin Bridge. It often dries up during the period of mean water. Its water is contaminated with industrial wastes. Two bridges span the Bumazhny Canal: Sutugin Bridge at the cross-section of Perekopskaya Street and Bumazhny Bridge at the cross-section of Liflyandskaya Street.
