Banny Bridge, River crossing in Admiralteysky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Banny Bridge is a steel structure that spans the Pryazhka River and connects pedestrian paths and roads in the Admiralteysky neighborhood. The structure was fundamentally renewed in the 1960s and displays the characteristic engineering work of that period.
The structure was built in the 1830s as part of the city's expansion alongside other bridges in the area. It underwent complete reconstruction between 1962 and 1964 to strengthen it.
The bridge is part of a network of water crossings that shows how residents have built their city around canals and rivers over time. You can see here how daily life in the city connects with the water.
The crossing is well accessible for pedestrians, with newly paved walking paths on both sides. The surroundings have been renovated in recent years, which has made walking across the bridge more pleasant.
Near this location in the 18th century were shops handling fire-sensitive materials such as tar and textiles. This historic use shows how the neighborhood has completely changed over time.
