Varshavsky bridge

Varshavsky bridge is a metal arch structure that crosses the Obvodny Canal in Saint Petersburg. The construction features stone-faced supports and a granite barrier curb, creating a sturdy passage across the waterway.

Engineers from the Russian Railways Company built this structure between 1869 and 1870, replacing an earlier wooden bridge. Later repairs updated its appearance with new materials and reinforced design elements.

The bridge takes its name from the nearby railway station and shapes the character of this district. It connects neighborhoods and serves as a natural part of daily routines for local residents.

The bridge is accessible to both pedestrians and vehicles at all times with a straightforward crossing path. The flat design and clear layout make it simple to navigate in any direction.

Shell fragments and damage marks from past conflicts remain visible on the structure itself. These traces silently record the difficult periods that shaped Saint Petersburg's history.
