Kirov Bridge, Transportation bridge in Vitebsk, Belarus.

The Kirov Bridge extends 236 meters across the Western Dvina River, connecting different sections of Vitebsk with its metal structure and wide lanes.

Originally constructed as Dvinsky Bridge in 1866, the structure underwent metal reinforcement in the 1880s and reconstruction in 1955 following wartime destruction.

The bridge bears the name of Soviet political figure Sergey Kirov and represents the engineering practices of mid-twentieth century Belarus.

Pedestrians and vehicles share the bridge daily, with extended sidewalks and new pavement installed during the 2004-2005 renovation period.

The 2010 addition of period-style lighting fixtures along the bridge creates evening illumination patterns across the Western Dvina River.
