Karpovsky bridge
Description:
Karpovsky Bridge of St. Petersburg got its name from the river through which it is thrown. One of the seven bridges across Karpovka. A relatively young building connecting Vyazemsky Lane and Tesktilei Street. Construction began in 1950. The purpose of its construction was to connect the two banks with a tram line. The bridge was metal with a wooden coating and railings. The author of the project was engineer Blazevic. The modern version of the bridge appeared in 1986-1989. Its author was engineer Brudno, and the bridge itself is a concrete span length of 23.8 meters with a granite parapet. There are no delights and decorations on it, therefore, against the background of historical buildings of the Petrograd side, it is quite plain. Today, road transport, trams, pedestrians move along the bridge. On the left side there is a descent to the water in the form of a granite staircase.
You can get there by public transport: bus 1,185, 25, tram 40, shuttle taxi K127.
