Kamennoostrovsky bridge, Bascule bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Kamennoostrovsky Bridge spans 151 meters across the Little Nevka River, connecting Aptekarsky Island with Kamenny Island through its five metal spans.

Starting as a floating pontoon bridge in 1760, the structure evolved through multiple iterations before reaching its current form with metal spans in 1952.

The bridge includes architectural elements such as decorative obelisks and street lamps that reflect the traditional Saint Petersburg design patterns from the 1800s.

The bridge maintains a width of 27 meters to accommodate both vehicle traffic and pedestrian pathways, serving as a vital transportation link in Saint Petersburg.

The central section originally functioned as a twin-leaf rolling bascule system with an electromechanical drive, though this mechanism is no longer operational.
