Ушаковский путепровод

The Ushakovsky Bridge is a transportation crossing in Saint Petersburg connecting Primorsky Prospect with Ushakovskaya Embankment. The 578-meter steel structure has four traffic lanes and nine spans with approach ramps on each side.

Construction began in 1998 and was completed in 2000 ahead of schedule by a local contractor. The project improved traffic flow between the Vyborgsky and Primorsky districts.

The bridge features naval-inspired design elements with decorative metal brackets and console platforms topped with cannons at the central span. These details reflect the maritime traditions that have shaped the city's character.

The bridge is open daily for vehicular traffic with direct access for through travel. Pedestrians can use designated pathways, though traffic during peak hours can be heavy.

The metal supports at the central span are designed to resemble ship cannons, a detail many people overlook. This creative touch reflects the naval heritage that runs through the city's history.
