Peter and Paul Bridge

St. Petersburg, Russia

Description:

The Petropavlovsk Bridge is thrown over the Karpovka River in the city of St. Petersburg, designed to connect the islands: Petrogradsky and Aptekarsky. The bridge was built on the Petrograd side and Medikov Avenue. Its length is 19.9 meters and width is 24.3 meters. The first bridge was built three-span wooden and beamed on Petrogradskaya Street in the XX century. Modern reinforced concrete bridge frame design by engineer Ryazantsev and architect Noskov was opened in 1967.

The spans of the new bridge were made of metal, and the cladding of the foundations is granite, stairs are equipped on the right bank. The bridge is designed not only for road transport, but also for pedestrians through Karpovka. The location of the construction of the new and old bridge is considered unsuccessful, because it rested on the walls of the PTU, and now the fence of the printing machines plant.
