Palace Bridge
 |
The Palace Bridge is a road traffic and foot bascule bridge spanning the Neva River in Saint Petersburg between Palace Square and Vasilievsky Island. Like every other Neva bridge (except for Big Obukhovsky Bridge), it is drawn by night, making foot travel between various parts of the city virtually impossible.
Its length is 260,1 meters, width is 27,8 meters.
Drawn Palace Bridge is one of city’s symbols.
During the Soviet epoch the bridge was called the Republic Bridge, but lately it has regained its name. Some citizens believe that the bridge’s railings were decorated by figures of two-headed eagles and that after the Revolution they were thrown in the Neva. But it’s not true because the cast-iron railings were installed only in the middle of XX century. |

Egyptian Bridge
 |
The Egyptian Bridge in St. Petersburg, Russia, carries Lermontov Avenue over the Fontanka River.
The one-span suspension bridge that it replaced was of historical interest as a monument to early 19th-century Egyptomania. It was constructed in 1825-1826 based on designs by two civil engineers, von Traitteur and Christianowicz. Its granite abutments were topped with cast-iron sphinxes and hexagonal lanterns. An unusual feature was a pair of cast-iron gates featuring Egyptian-style columns, ornaments, and hieroglyphics, with many details of the ironwork elaborately gilded.
Although the bridge is located rather faraway from official part of St Petersburg, it’s still very attractive. Perhaps building this bridge the government was trying to give numerous military barracks in the area a sense of imperial patriotism.
The Egyptian Bridge became a necessary part of St Petersburg’s image as other “sculpture” bridges: Anichkov, Bank and Lion. |

Liteyny Bridge
 |
The Liteyny Bridge is the second permanent bridge across the Neva river in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It connects Liteyny Prospekt with Vyborgsky district.
The bridge is named Liteyney which literally means Foundry after the Liteyny Prospekt and Liteyny district which in turn were named after big foundry which was established on the left bank in 1711. In 1903 the bridge was renamed Aleksandrovsky in name of tzar Alexander II. But this name was never adopted by the public and after the October Revolution in 1917 the original name Liteyny Bridge was restored.
Soon after the opening, the bridge was equipped with electrical lights - the invention of Russian inventor Pavel Yablochkov. It was the first bridge to get electrical lighting and for the long time it remained the only one, since the monopoly of gas producers in city opposed it.
The bridge's length is 396 meters, the width is 34 meters. At the vicinity of the Liteyny Bridge, the Neva river reaches the maximum depth of 24 meters.
Summer navigation: the bridge is opened from 1.40 a.m. to 4.45 a.m. |

 |
The Potseluev Bridge (literally Bridge of Kisses) is a bridge across the Moyka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The bridge's length is 41,5 meters, the width is 23,5 meters.
Its name the bridge has got after the merchant Potseluyev, whose drinking establishment “Potseluy” (A Kiss) was not far away from here.
A monument of cast-iron bridge engineering remained as it was in the beginning of XIX century. There is plenty of legends about this place due to its name.
They say that when the city was limited by Moyka river at this site, this bridge served as meeting and farewell place. All people who were leaving the city were bidding farewell to their beloved here. Also they say that lovers who had to hide their feelings were meeting at this bridge.
The panoramic view of Saint Isaac's Cathedral that opens from the bridge makes it a popular subject of artists’ paintings.

Blue Bridge
 |
The Blue Bridge spans the Moika River and is located in front of the Mariinsky Palace at Saint Isaac's Square in city's historic center. The Blue Bridge (Siniy most), is a 97.3 meter wide bridge that spans the Moika River. The Blue Bridge is the widest bridge in Saint Petersburg. Due to its width the bridge is often seemed to be a part of the square.
In 1841, the bridge was more than doubled in size to its present width. But it has never lost its image so we can see as it was in the very beginning.
In the 19th century, the bridges along the Moika River were color-coded, and the Blue Bridge is one of four to maintain this tradition. Its elegant cast-iron railings are painted a distinctive shade of sky blue.
Two statues (the Bronze Horseman and Nicolas I) turn their backs on the bridge as on the Mariinsky Palace so we can say that two emperors face away the Blue Bridge. |
