Aptekarsky Bridge, Metal bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Aptekarsky Bridge extends 151 meters across the Little Nevka River, connecting Aptekarsky Island with Kamenny Island through a five-span metal structure.
The bridge originated in 1760 as a floating pontoon structure and transformed into Russia's first seven-span timber arch bridge between 1811 and 1813.
The bridge forms part of Saint Petersburg's extensive network of 342 bridges, contributing to the city's reputation as the Venice of the North.
The 27-meter-wide bridge accommodates motor vehicles, trams, and pedestrians, providing essential connectivity between residential and commercial districts of Saint Petersburg.
The central section contains a twin-leaf rolling bascule system that previously allowed ships to pass through, though this mechanism no longer functions.
