4th Zhdanov Bridge

The 4th Zhdanovsky Bridge is located in the Petrograd district of St. Petersburg and is intended only for pedestrian traffic. The bridge is thrown over the river Zhdanovka on Petrovsky lane. The project of construction of the bridge arose in 1983-1984, the metal single-span bridge was created by architects Shindin, Ivanov and engineers Sokolov, Eduardov. The total length is 40 m, and the width is 4.5 m, the supports on the shore are lined with granite. Torshares with lanterns are made of metal and are installed at the entrance on both sides. Operating and dismantled bridges nearby: Kadetsky, 2nd Zhdanovskiy, 1st Zhdanovskiy. The 4th Zhdanovsky Bridge in St. Petersburg is famous for its castles “for luck”, which are fastened by the newlyweds to the fence of the bridge. This tradition has its disadvantages, because under the heavy weight of the locks, the construction of the bridge can be violated. The leaders of high posts in the “Petrovsky district” also thought about this, they organized the installation of a new sculpture from Jan Neumann, which would mean a gesture of love and loyalty. The main function of the sculpture is the official place for castles “for happiness”.
