Bolshoi Krestovskii bridge, Bascule bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Bolshoi Krestovskii Bridge spans across the Malaia Nevka River, connecting Petrovsky Island with Krestovsky Island through a small unnamed islet.
The initial wooden drawbridge construction dates back to 1838, with subsequent modifications in 1916 to accommodate two-way vehicular traffic patterns.
The bridge became part of Russian history when workers discovered blood stains in December 1916, leading to the location of Grigori Rasputin's body.
Following severe ice damage in 1993, the structure underwent complete reconstruction, resulting in a new bridge opening in 2010 with enhanced safety features.
The bridge measures 297 meters in length and 18 meters in width, incorporating metal beam construction that replaced the previous wooden structure in 1947.
