Krasavinsky bridge, Railway and road bridge in Perm, Russia.
The Krasavinsky Bridge is a combined railway and road bridge in Perm, Russia, spanning the Kama River over a length of about 1,737 meters (5,700 feet). It has separate sections for vehicle traffic and for trains, both of which can operate at the same time.
The bridge opened in 2005 and was the first structure in the Perm region to combine rail and road traffic on a single crossing. It filled a long-standing gap in how the city connected the two banks of the Kama.
The bridge takes its name from the Krasavinsky district on the western bank of the Kama River. For many people in Perm, it is simply part of the daily routine, used by commuters, drivers, and freight trains alike.
The bridge sits on the edge of Perm and is easiest to reach by car or by public transport heading toward the western part of the city. Those who want to cross on foot should stay on the marked walkway and keep away from the vehicle lanes.
The rail and road sections of the bridge run at different levels, so trains and vehicles move on top of each other without interfering. This detail is easy to miss when crossing, but becomes visible when you look at the structure from the riverbank.
