Communal bridge and subway bridge
you can get to the bridge from the street. Nemirovich-Danchenko or from the street. Sunrise.
Description:
The bridge was opened on October 20, 1955. It became the first road-tram-pedestrian bridge across the Ob in Novosibirsk. Despite the savings during construction, the bridge organically fit into the style of the city and became one of its symbols.
On June 3, 1965, the bridge became famous all over the world thanks to one occasion. Valentin Privalov, a military pilot, flew under one of the spans of this bridge a meter from the water. This event had a wide resonance even abroad. The pilot wanted to be put on trial for hooliganism, but by order of the Minister of Defense of the USSR, he was again allowed to fly.
The Novosibirsk metro bridge was built in close proximity to the Communal Bridge. Initially, it was even planned to use its supports for construction. Its length is 2,145 meters, making it the longest covered metro bridge in the world. In its construction participated not only workers, but also citizens who came out on Saturdays.
Interestingly, the length of the bridge in winter and summer is not the same. In winter, it shrinks, and in summer, on the contrary, it stretches by 50 cm, so rollers are installed on the supports. The reason for this is large temperature changes.
