Rail Bridge over the Iset River, Kamensk-Uralsky, Railway bridge in Kamensk-Uralsky, Russia.
The rail bridge crosses the Iset River with its main span reaching about 140 meters across the water. Additional bridge sections extend from both banks to connect the railway to the surrounding terrain.
Construction started in 1938 and finished in 1939 as part of efforts to support transportation for the nearby aluminum plant. The bridge became an important industrial infrastructure project during that period of regional expansion.
The bridge received recognition as a regional cultural heritage site in 2001 through Decree 859 of the Sverdlovsk Oblast Government.
The bridge sits along the Sinarska-Chelyabinsk railway line and can be viewed from accessible points near the city. Best viewing is from safe locations along the railway corridor without stepping onto active tracks.
The bridge uses steel tubes filled with concrete, an experimental construction method from that era. This approach was innovative for its time and demonstrated advanced engineering techniques of the 1930s.
