Sampsonievsky Bridge, Bascule bridge along the Neva River in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Sampsonievsky Bridge spans 193 meters across the Neva River with two lifting sections made of steel and measures 27.7 meters in width.
Constructed in 1806, the Sampsonievsky Bridge established a vital connection between neighborhoods during Saint Petersburg's expansion as the Russian capital city.
The bridge serves as a meeting point for residents and visitors who gather to watch ships pass through during navigation season from April to November.
Bridge operators coordinate vessel passages between 1:30 AM and 4:30 AM, requiring maritime traffic to schedule crossings two days before intended passage.
Unlike other Saint Petersburg bridges with hydraulic mechanisms, the Sampsonievsky Bridge maintains its original electromechanical lifting system for bridge operations.
