Finland Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Finland Railway Bridge spans the Neva River with four metal arches of 100 meters each and a 45-meter vertical lift section in the middle.
The bridge construction started in 1910 with funds from the Grand Duchy of Finland and opened for railway traffic in October 1913.
The structure received status as a regional cultural heritage site, sharing architectural elements with the Bolsheokhtinsky Bridge in Saint Petersburg.
The bridge opens for water navigation from April to November, with lifting operations scheduled between 2:40 AM and 5:10 AM during the season.
In 1983, engineers built an identical second bridge next to the original, creating a dual structure for trains moving in opposite directions.
