Dekabristov bridge, Steel bridge in Admiralteysky District, Russia.

The Dekabristov Bridge spans 29 meters across the Kryukov Canal, featuring a continuous beam system with ten riveted iron I-beams and transverse supports.

Originally constructed between 1783 and 1787 as a wooden structure, the bridge underwent major reconstruction in 1914 when engineer A.P. Pshenitsky expanded its width to 23.3 meters.

The bridge received its current name in 1923, commemorating the Russian military officers who initiated an uprising against Tsar Nicholas I in December 1825.

The structure accommodates five traffic lanes and includes sidewalks separated by granite curbs, connecting Kolomensky and Kazansky Islands in Saint Petersburg.

The middle span incorporates a concave silhouette beneath to increase water clearance, displaying engineering solutions from the early twentieth century.
