Khabarovsk Bridge, Railway bridge in Khabarovsk, Russia.
Khabarovsk Bridge crosses the Amur River over a span of 2590 meters and links both banks with rail tracks and vehicle lanes. The steel construction rises above the wide current with a roadway width of 25 meters.
The first crossing opened in 1916 as the last major work of the tsarist empire and received recognition at the Paris Exposition. Later modifications added road traffic and strengthened the capacity for modern trains.
The structure appears on the five-thousand ruble banknote and represents technical achievement in eastern Russia. Train passengers recognize the steel framework immediately as a landmark of the city.
Pedestrians cannot access the crossing, but viewpoints along the riverbank offer clear views of the construction. Travelers crossing the region by rail experience the Amur crossing directly from train windows.
A nearby museum preserves original sections of the first truss structure alongside historical locomotives. Visitors can examine the old steel segments next to photographs from construction more than a century ago.
