Baroque bridge

Baroque bridge passes over the river Karpovka in the Petrograd district. It is a continuation of Baroque street and connects Petrograd and Pharmacy Islands. The bridge at this place was created in 1914 by the project of engineer A.P. Pshenitsky, who proposed to organize the passage of trams to the Krestovsky tram park. Today there is no tram traffic in the area, the park and tracks have been dismantled.

The bridge got its name from the nearby Baroque street. At the end of the XVIII century, there was a famous drinking house "Barka", where old barques were delivered by water for scrapping. The length of the bridge is 29 meters with a width of 15 meters. Since its inception, the bridge has never been repaired or restored. Although tram traffic, which was stopped only in 2003, caused severe damage to the floors and road surface.
