Trinity Bridge, Steel bascule bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Trinity Bridge crosses the Neva River with a length of 582 meters and features cast iron gratings and granite pylons with decorative lanterns.
French construction firm Société de Construction des Batignolles completed the bridge in 1903 to commemorate Saint Petersburg's 200th anniversary.
The bridge design reflects French-Russian cooperation, with its construction coinciding with the building of Pont Alexandre III in Paris.
The central movable span of 80 meters opens regularly throughout the navigation season to allow tall vessels passage along the Neva River.
Soviet pilot Valery Chkalov performed an unauthorized flight under the bridge during the 1930s, later inspiring a song by Boris Grebenshchikov.
