Bridge over the Ship Fairway

The Bridge over the Ship Fairway extends 622 meters across the Petrovsky fairway, featuring three spans and connecting different sections of Saint Petersburg through the Western Rapid Diameter.

The bridge construction marked a new phase in Saint Petersburg's infrastructure development when it opened in 2016, continuing the city's tradition of connecting waterways that started with Peter the Great.

The bridge structure represents the evolution of Saint Petersburg's architecture, joining over 342 bridges that form the foundation of the city's transportation network.

Vehicles can access the Western High-Speed Diameter via this bridge, which maintains a height sufficient for maritime vessels to pass underneath throughout the year.

The bridge's 39-meter width and advanced cable-stayed design demonstrate modern engineering capabilities while providing views of the Lakhta Center in the background.
