Lomonosov Bridge, Road bridge across Fontanka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The stone bridge extends 57 meters across the Fontanka River with three spans supported by granite-faced arches and two decorative towers at the center.
Built between 1785 and 1787 during Catherine II's reign, the bridge underwent a major reconstruction in 1911 when its wooden central span was replaced with metal beams.
Originally named Catherine's Bridge, then Chernyshev Bridge, it received its current name in 1948 to honor Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov.
The bridge connects Spassky Island to Bezymyanny Island with a roadway width of 14.66 meters and includes separate pedestrian pathways on both sides.
Four granite obelisks with lanterns, decorated with sea horse motifs, mark the bridge entrances and illuminate the crossing at night.
