Malo-Kalinkin Bridge, Three-span bridge over Griboyedov Canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Malo-Kalinkin Bridge connects Kolomna Island and Pokrovsky Island with granite piers and metal support beams spanning the waterway.

Engineer I. Borisov constructed the bridge in 1783 during the development of granite embankments along the Griboyedov Canal.

The bridge received its name from Kalinkina village, a Finnish settlement that existed near this location during the early 17th century.

The structure underwent modifications in 1908 to accommodate tram routes, with metal support beams replacing the original wooden components.

The bridge appears in Nikolai Gogol's story 'The Overcoat' as the location where the ghost of Akaky Akakievich searches for his stolen garment.
