Silin Bridge

The Silin Bridge is thrown over the Karpovka River in St. Petersburg and is designed to connect two islands: Petrogradsky and Aptekarsky. The bridge is built on the axis of Kamennoostrovsky Avenue and is named after the owner of the land and a tavern in this place. The first wooden bridge in 1936 was replaced by reinforced concrete and renamed Pioneersky. With this name, the bridge served until 1991, then it was returned to its former name.

Previously, on the site of the Silin bridge was transported, but in 1776 built a three-span permanent wooden bridge. It was repaired and reconstructed in 1864 and 1878. Previously, the length of the bridge was 35 meters, and its width was 18 meters. Modern reinforced concrete bridge with one non-diluting span was created in 1936. The project for it was developed by engineer Saperstein together with architect Dmitriev.

Fences of the bridge made of cast iron decoration and casting, bronze elements-bareliefs created by the hand of the sculptor Dietrich. The cladding of the spans is granite. The last reconstruction was carried out in 1974.
