Alexander Nevsky Bridge, Concrete bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Alexander Nevsky Bridge extends 905 meters across the Neva River with seven spans and a 50-meter central section that opens for ships.
The bridge, completed in November 1965, underwent rigorous testing with military tanks before its official opening to ensure structural integrity.
Named after the 13th-century military commander Alexander Nevsky, this bridge represents an important connection between northern and southern Saint Petersburg districts.
The structure measures 35 meters in width and accommodates multiple traffic lanes, making it a major transportation route for Saint Petersburg residents.
During summer navigation periods, the central span opens within two minutes to allow maritime vessels passage through the Neva River.
