Demidov Bridge, Road bridge in Admiralteysky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Demidov Bridge spans across the Griboyedov Canal, connecting Kazansky Island and Spassky Island with its single-span cast iron arch structure.
Engineers E.A. Adam and P.P. Bazen constructed this cast iron bridge in 1835, replacing the wooden Maly Saarsky Bridge that stood since 1739.
The bridge received its name from the Demidov family, prominent mine owners who maintained a large estate at the intersection of Moyka Embankment.
The bridge supports one-way traffic heading toward central Saint Petersburg, providing direct access routes to both St. Isaac's Square and Sennaya Square.
The palmetto ornament railings of the bridge demonstrate exceptional casting craftsmanship, complemented by granite stand lamps with decorative lanterns.
