Grenadersky bridge, Bascule bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Grenadersky Bridge spans across the Neva River with a single-leaf bascule mechanism that lifts to allow maritime traffic passage through the waterway.
Built in the early 20th century, this bridge received its name from the Imperial Russian Grenadier Regiments who were stationed in the surrounding area.
The bridge takes part in Saint Petersburg's traditional night bridge openings, a ritual that marks the navigation season from April to November.
The bridge operates on a three-stage opening schedule between 1:30 AM and 4:30 AM, requiring vessel passage requests to be submitted two days in advance.
The structure features a distinctive multi-step opening system that reduces the time needed for ships to pass through compared to other drawbridges.
