Description
The Kashin Bridge spans the Kryukov Canal in Saint Petersburg, connecting different parts of the Admiralteysky District. It features stone construction with metal railings and serves as a main pedestrian route in the area.
History
The bridge was built in 1787 during Catherine the Great's reign, when Saint Petersburg was rapidly expanding. It was part of the city's development as permanent stone structures replaced temporary wooden crossings.
