Pevchesky Bridge, Road bridge at Palace Square, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Pevchesky Bridge spans the Moika River with a length of 21 meters and stands as the third widest bridge in Saint Petersburg at 72 meters.
French architect Auguste de Montferrand designed the initial wooden structure in 1834, which was later replaced by a cast iron bridge in 1840.
The bridge received its name from the neighboring Palace Chapel Choir, while its yellow cast-iron railings feature decorative palmetto patterns.
The bridge does not open like other Saint Petersburg bridges, allowing continuous vehicle and pedestrian traffic throughout day and night.
Emperor Nicholas I became the first person to cross the new cast iron bridge during its inauguration, traveling in his horse-drawn carriage.
