The New Brick Bridge

The embankment on the left bank of the Obvodny Canal across the Volkovka River crosses the Novo-Brick Bridge, which in the 19th century was on the natural riverbed. It was called Brick Bridges at that time because it was made of brick. A three-span wooden bridge with a rigel-deviating structure and metal piles, the coastal foundations are lined with brick over the finishing stone. In 1855-1888, the overhaul of the Brick Bridge and its reconstruction was completed, but already in 1908 the bridge was dismantled due to the construction of a new railway bridge across the Obvodny Canal. The management of the Nikolaev railway facilitated the construction of the New Brick Bridge later, in 1926. For the construction, the plan of the engineer Bugaeva and Vasiliev was used, the bridge occupied the niche of the first railway bridge, which was built in Soviet Leningrad. Three spans with a w/b hingeless arch and two semi-arches over the side spans. The length of the first railway bridge is 49 meters, and its width was 13 meters.
