Novo-Kalinkin bridge, Road bridge across Obvodny Canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The bridge extends 27.3 meters in length and 21 meters in width, featuring a single-span reinforced concrete structure with an arched silhouette.

Constructed in 1836 as a wooden crossing designed by engineer P.P. Bazen, the bridge underwent major reconstruction in 1930 under architect B.D. Vasilyev.

The bridge name originates from a Finnish village called Kalyula or Kalina, which later transformed into Kalinkina during Saint Petersburg's early development.

The bridge accommodates vehicle traffic, tram lines, and pedestrian pathways, connecting neighborhoods across the Obvodny Canal with upgraded sidewalks and decorative railings.

During World War II, concrete parapets of the bridge sustained damage from shellfire, leading to extensive restoration work between 1996 and 1998.
