Bolshoy Obukhovsky Bridge

The Bolshoy Obukhovsky Bridge stretches 2,824 meters across the Neva River with two parallel structures containing four lanes for traffic in each direction.

The construction of this bridge commenced in the early 2000s to address traffic congestion, with the first section opening in December 2004 and the second in 2007.

The bridge received its name through a public vote by residents of Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, reflecting the connection to local geographic elements.

During nighttime navigation seasons, this bridge remains the sole crossing point over the Neva River, connecting Oktyabrskaya Embankment with Obukhovsky Oborony prospect.

The bridge features two 126-meter-high pylons and maintains a 30-meter clearance above the water, allowing large vessels to pass underneath without interruption.
