Uktussky bridge, Stone bridge in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The Uktussky Bridge is a stone structure in Yekaterinburg that crosses the Iset River and links different parts of the city. The construction features solid cut stone blocks typical of 19th-century engineering methods.
The bridge was completed in 1857 and was one of the first major stone structures that Yekaterinburg needed during this phase of its growth. The project demonstrated the city's technical capacity to create modern infrastructure.
The bridge takes its name from the nearby Uktus district and displays craftsmanship typical of the 1800s. Visitors can observe the carefully dressed stone blocks and the classical construction methods of that era.
The structure is accessible daily and easily crossed on foot or by bicycle. Visitors should know that it can be slippery during snowy periods and comfortable footwear is advisable.
The bridge was built using imported construction techniques, which was unusual for Russian engineering projects of that era. This international influence made it a model for subsequent projects in the region.
