Second Elagin bridge, Bascule bridge on Elagin Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Second Elagin Bridge spans across the water with a movable central section that lifts to allow maritime vessels to pass underneath.
The bridge represents the engineering developments of Saint Petersburg during its expansion, connecting vital transportation routes across the waterways.
This federal cultural heritage site stands among 342 bridges in Saint Petersburg, reflecting the city's adaptation to its network of canals.
From April to November, the bridge operates on a schedule coordinated with other movable bridges to maintain both maritime and ground transportation.
The bridge incorporates a counterweight mechanism that precisely balances the lifting span, enabling smooth operation for passing water traffic.
