Potseluev Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Krasnodar, Russia
Potseluev Bridge is a cable-stayed pedestrian span crossing a tributary of the Kuban River, supported by a single tower. It links the 30th Anniversary Park to the riverside promenade and features separate pathways for walking and cycling.
Construction completed in 2003 created a direct link to a park section that was previously difficult to reach across the river. The project resolved an isolation issue caused by the wide waterway separating the two areas.
The railings serve as a gathering place where newlyweds attach small locks to symbolize their union. This ritual has shaped the appearance of the structure and reveals the place's significance to residents.
Access is designed for pedestrians and cyclists with wide, secure pathways on both sides. Colorful lighting illuminates the structure at night, improving navigation and making the crossing more pleasant.
Workers periodically collect the attached locks and sell the metal as scrap. The proceeds are used to purchase gifts for couples celebrating their golden wedding anniversary.
