Ushakov bridge

The Ushakov Bridge used to have two alternative names: in 1836 and until 1952 it was called the Stroganov Bridge - in honor of the Stroganov dacha nearby, and even earlier the 2nd Kamennoostrovsky Bridge. The bridge passes through Bolshaya Nevka, connecting Kamennoostrovsky Prospect and Akademik Krylov Street. The real name of the bridge was given in honor of Admiral F.F. Ushakov. The first floating flat bridge on this place was in 1786, but already in the XIX century it was replaced by a pile and changed the location to the gate of the Akademik Krylov street. The last reconstruction of the bridge took place in 1953 under the leadership of engineers Demchenko and Levin, as well as architects Areshev and Vasilnovsky. The central span of the bridge is drawable, the construction of beams and spans of metal and g / b, and the supports are trimmed with granite and decorated with an ornament depicting a star, anchor, laurel and oak wreath. This style is called “Stalinist” classicism. Also, columns were decorated at the exit and entrance of the Ushakov Bridge. On the side of the Stone Island is the Church of the Nativity of Jonah the Forerunner and the chapel of the icon "Vsezaritsa". The Ushakov bridge can be bred only on request or for testing, but not on schedule.
