Ekateringofsky Bridge, Road bridge over Ekateringofka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Ekateringofsky Bridge extends across the Ekateringofka River with a length of 63.42 meters and a width of 21.3 meters at the intersection of Rizhsky Prospect.

The bridge underwent major structural changes after sustaining damage from an air bomb in 1941, transforming from a single-span to a three-hinged arch structure.

The bridge received its name from the adjacent Catherinehof Park, which Peter the Great presented as a gift to his wife Catherine in 1711.

Engineers conducted substantial reconstruction work from 1987 to 1989, converting the structure into a three-span continuous beam by modifying the roadway materials.

The original design featured a single-span, twin-leaf metal welded trunnion bascule bridge with fixed counterweights that could be raised for passing vessels.

Location: Saint Petersburg
