1st Krustein Bridge

The 1st Krustein Bridge is located near Labor Square and runs through the Admiralty Canal, leading to the island of Holland, which is why the bridge was called Dutch in 1836-1846. In 1950, the bridge and canal were renamed, the bridge was named after Karl Yakovlevich Krustein, an Estonian who was a member of the Bolshevik Party at the time when the Kaiser troops occupied Estonia. It was then that the sailor and military Krustein left Tallinn, leaving for Kronstadt and, under the leadership of Commissar Fleurovsky, began the formation of the Baltic Fleet troops to be sent to the front. In the autumn of 1918, Krustein himself applied to join the Communist Party in Estonia. He died at the hand of the SR and was buried on Nikolskaya Square.

The 1st Krustein Bridge was rebuilt in 1939 and became a single-span metal bridge with a beam-cutting system. The bridge has concrete foundations on stilts lined with granite. The drawing on the grids is simple, and the length of the bridge is 14.3 meters, the width is 9.3 meters. Nearby are such sights as New Holland and the Xenin Institute (the palace of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich). The nearest metro station is Vasileostrovsky.
