Siny Most Bridge

Siny Most Bridge, Road bridge over the Maly Volkhovets in Veliky Novgorod, Russia.

Siny Most is a road bridge over the Maly Volkhovets River on the Veliky Novgorod–Moscow highway. The 1824 structure rested on two stone abutments on the banks and ten intermediate piers; its wooden parts were painted blue with oil paint, which gave the bridge its name. A newer two-lane bridge was built flush against its south side in 1991, and the old span still stands beside it.

A floating bridge crossed the Zhilotug, a now-vanished northern tributary of the Maly Volkhovets, until 1824. Construction of the capital bridge began on 7 January 1824 under the Spanish engineer Agustín de Betancourt, part of the St Petersburg–Moscow road, and took one year and three months. Destroyed in the Second World War, it was rebuilt in 1955; a new two-lane bridge was added alongside in 1991, and the old span reopened on 1 September 2023 after major repairs.

The bridge's name comes from its wooden parts, painted with blue oil paint; the name survived rebuilds and the 1991 replacement. Nearby on the left bank stands a monument to Alexander Pankratov, who on 24 August 1941 was the first in the war to cover an enemy embrasure with his body. On the right bank is the "Defense Line" memorial at the 1941–1944 front line.

The bridge carries the Veliky Novgorod–Moscow road over the Maly Volkhovets. Since 2023 traffic runs on two parallel spans, the 1991 two-lane bridge and the repaired old one, giving four lanes. On the left bank stands the monument to A. K. Pankratov; on the right bank the "Defence Line" memorial marks the 1941–1944 front.

The name "Siny" comes from the blue oil paint applied to the bridge's wooden parts in the 1820s. The old bridge, closed in 1991, still stands next to its 1991 replacement. Nearby on the left bank is a monument to A. K. Pankratov, who on 24 August 1941 was the first in the war to cover an enemy embrasure with his body.
