Tuchkov Bridge, Bascule bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Tuchkov Bridge spans 226 meters across the Malaya Neva River, connecting the Petrograd and Vasilyevsky islands with its steel and concrete structure.
In 1758, merchant Abraham Tuchkov funded the construction of the first wooden bridge at this location, which measured 890 meters in length.
The bridge serves as a critical transportation artery for Saint Petersburg residents while participating in the nightly bridge openings from April to November.
The bridge opens twice each night during navigation season according to a precise schedule, allowing large vessels to pass through the Malaya Neva River.
The bridge features modern hydraulic mechanisms that can lift its central span in just two to five minutes for maritime traffic passage.
