Bor bridges
Nizhny Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod region
Description:
The transport facility, known as the Borsky Bridges (also called the Volga Bridge or Gorky Bridges), is a paired railway-road bridge (built in 1965) and a single-track railway bridge (built in 1935) across the Volga. Through it, transport communication is carried out between the Kanavinsky and Moscow districts of Nizhny Novgorod with the Borsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region.
The bridges are located on the road P159.
The architectural design of both bridges corresponds to the period of their construction. The older, railway, is made on the basis of arc span structures and is mounted on solid reinforced concrete bulls. The paired railway-road bridge also has a design characteristic of its time - U-shaped supports and straight spans.
