Potseluev Bridge, Cast-iron road bridge in Admiralteysky District, Russia.
The single-span Potseluev Bridge extends 41.5 meters across the Moyka River, featuring granite obelisks with lanterns at its entrances.
Built in 1738 as a wooden structure, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1816 under architect William Heste to accommodate increased traffic needs.
The bridge earned its name from a merchant named Potseluev who operated a tavern nearby, leading to its translation as Bridge of Kisses.
The bridge connects the banks of the Moyka River near New Holland, providing passage for vehicles and pedestrians in central Saint Petersburg.
Four decorative granite obelisks mark the corners of the bridge, topped with cast iron lanterns that illuminate the crossing at night.
