Neva overpass, Concrete beam bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Neva overpass is a concrete structure that crosses the river and connects different districts of Saint Petersburg together. The construction uses reinforced concrete and was built as a modern traffic hub.
The overpass was built during the Soviet era as part of Leningrad's modern infrastructure development. The project reflected the focus on traffic solutions to handle the city's rapid growth.
The bridge is part of the network of river crossings that shape Saint Petersburg and show how the city manages its waterways. Residents use it daily and it connects districts that would otherwise be separated by water.
The bridge is accessible at any time on foot and offers a good access point for pedestrians switching between districts. The best time is during the day when the light is ideal and the view of the river is clear.
From the bridge you see the Neva River from an angle that many tourists miss, since they normally focus on the more famous bridges. This lesser-known position offers a different view of the waterways and shores of the city.
