Novo-Petergofsky Bridge

Рубрикатор / Architecture/Bridges
NOVO-PETERGOFSKY BRIDGE, over Obvodny Canal, linking Lermontovsky Avenue (former Novo-Petergofsky Avenue, hence the name) and Baltiiskogo Vokzala Square. A wooden three-span angular-shaped strutted beam bridge had been situated on this site since 1857. The present-day bridge was built in 1931-1932 (engineers N.E. Ermolaev, M.I. Zhdanov, architect L.A. Ilyin, consultant professor G.P. Peredery). The opening was covered with a reinforced-concrete bulk curved beam framework. In 1960, cast-iron gratings with lion mascarons (architect I.N. Benois) were installed on the bridge. The bridge is 32.5 metres long and 23.3 metres wide.
