Kirov Bridge

Kirov Bridge, Road bridge in Vitebsk, Belarus.

Kirov Bridge is a road bridge of reinforced concrete arches over the Western Dvina in central Vitebsk, linking Kirova Street on the right bank with Zamkovaya Street on the left. It has three spans of monolithic reinforced concrete, a total length of 236 m, a middle span of 66 m and outer spans of 60 m, with four traffic lanes and two sidewalks. Two decorative columns with lamps stand at the right-bank end, where a staircase leads down to the embankment; two decorative bollards stand on the left bank.

A wooden field bridge stood here until the 1860s, rebuilt each year after ice and floods destroyed it. Construction of the Dvinsky Bridge began in 1863 to a design from 1838, led by Lieutenant Colonel A. P. Feting, and the railway reached the city in 1866. The bridge was destroyed in the Great Patriotic War; the present Kirov Bridge was built in 1955 by architects V. Ladygina and Ya. Zaslavsky with engineer I. Gelfman.

The bridge is named after Sergei Kirov, the Soviet politician, and its 1955 replacement was designed by architects V. Ladygina and Ya. Zaslavsky with engineer I. Gelfman. At the right bank, two decorative columns with lamps mark the entrance, and a staircase links the embankment to the deck; two decorative bollards stand on the left bank.

The bridge carries four traffic lanes with a sidewalk on each side. At the right bank, two decorative columns with lanterns stand at the bridgehead, and a staircase links the embankment to the deck; two decorative bollards mark the left bank. Stylised old-fashioned lanterns light the crossing.

The bridge's lamps are stylized to look old-fashioned, though the structure itself dates from 1955. Two decorative columns with lanterns stand at the right-bank end, where a staircase links the embankment to the roadway; two decorative bollards mark the left bank.
