Kazachy Bridge, Stone bridge at Monastyrka River, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Kazachy Bridge spans the Monastyrka River, connecting Bezymyanny Island with Monastyrsky Island near the Obvodny Canal. The structure features five vehicle lanes and separated sidewalks bordered by granite curbs and metal railings.
The original bridge was built in 1833 as a wooden arch structure. In 1965 it was completely reconstructed as a single-span reinforced concrete bridge.
The bridge takes its name from nearby barracks of the Labe-Guards Cossack regiment, a reminder of Saint Petersburg's military past. This military connection remains visible in how locals refer to the area.
The bridge has wide, clearly marked traffic lanes and pedestrian paths that are easy to navigate. Keep in mind that this is a busy road crossing, especially during peak hours when vehicle traffic is heavy.
The concrete structure rests on monolithic reinforced concrete supports faced with granite, built upon a specialized pile foundation system. This engineering approach allows the bridge to maintain stability in the soft marshland ground characteristic of Saint Petersburg.
