Alexandrovskoy Fermy overbridge, Railway overbridge on Moscow-Saint Petersburg line, Russia
The Alexandrovskoy Fermy overbridge is a railway structure spanning the Moscow-Saint Petersburg line, carrying trains across roads and local transportation infrastructure in the city. The reinforced steel construction allows trains to pass above ground-level traffic without disrupting movement below.
The structure was built as part of the expanding railway infrastructure connecting Moscow and Saint Petersburg in the 1800s. Its construction became necessary to accommodate growing rail traffic while maintaining access for road users in the city.
Located within Saint Petersburg's network of 342 bridges, this structure represents the city's engineering methods of connecting communities across waterways.
The structure is visible from below and nearby roads, though it primarily functions as an active railway facility not designed for visitor access. The best views are available from ground level on surrounding streets or from a distance along the rail corridor.
Positioned at coordinates 59.854722, 30.446667, the bridge maintains structural identification number 20066343 in international engineering databases.
