Sutugin Bridge

Sutugin Bridge is located in St. Petersburg and passes through the Paper Canal, which connects Perekopskaya Street (the old name of Sutugina Street) with the picturesque Ekateringof Park, located near the Narva metro station. Earlier, around 1815, the cottage of merchant Matvey Sutugin was located in these places, hence the historical name of the street and the bridge. Near the bridge hangs a sign, it is associated with a small but strange story. In 1990, a plaque was installed on which a mistake was made in the name of the bridge: "Sugutin Bridge". After some time, the error was corrected, but in 2010, the newly installed plate contained the same error.

The history of the Sutugin bridge begins in 1795, when the first wooden five-span bridge of engineers Bazin and Clapeyron was installed in its place. In 1945, wooden elements were replaced by metal. In 1979, according to the project of Shlotsky, the Sutugin bridge was installed, which can be observed to this day. The beams during its construction were borrowed from the Golovinsky Bridge, following the results of a steel concrete bridge in one span. The fences have a simple pattern, on the right bank there are vases of granite dating from the XIX century.
