Volgograd "Dancing" Bridge
Description:
Volgograd "Dancing" bridge is one of the four parts of the road structure that runs across the Volga River in the center of Volgograd. Three parts are yet to be completed. According to the project, one of them passes through the Akhtuba River, and the other two are connecting approaches to the two main bridges.
"Dancing" this bridge is called the inhabitants of the city. In the spring of 2010, a year after the long-awaited opening of the bridge, its design came into a strong swing. On May 20, 2010, the oscillation of the bridge reached almost one meter. At this time, there was active traffic on the road bridge. For more than an hour, all eyewitnesses observed a wave-like swing of the structure. In the video, which was filmed on this day, a large-scale structure across the Volga bends in the literal sense of the word.
After this event, the bridge was closed for one year. It is now open and fully functioning. "Dancing" Volgograd bridge became a landmark of the city and became famous all over the world. Amazing fact that the design of the dancing bridge remained intact. Even after bending waves and vertical oscillations, the asphalt pavement had no faults or cracks.
People come from all over the world to see the “dancing” bridge and take selfies and photos. You can get to it by route: Russia, Volgograd region, Volgograd, the city center.
