First Petergofsky bridge, Historic bridge across Moika River in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The First Petergofsky Bridge extends 42 meters in length and 16.8 meters in width, connecting both sides of Gorokhovaya Street over the Moika River.

The initial cast iron structure, designed by William Heste between 1808 and 1813, underwent reconstruction in 1953 when architect V.V. Blazhevich replaced it with welded steel arches.

The bridge maintains its historical red-painted sides facing the river, following a 19th-century tradition of color-coding bridges crossing the Moika River in Saint Petersburg.

Pedestrians and vehicles can cross the First Petergofsky Bridge throughout the day, making it an essential connection point in Saint Petersburg's transportation network.

The First Petergofsky Bridge remains one of only four surviving color-coded bridges in Saint Petersburg, along with the Blue Bridge, Green Bridge, and Yellow Bridge.
