Sennoy Bridge, Pedestrian bridge over Griboedov Canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Sennoy Bridge is a pedestrian footbridge crossing the Griboedov Canal with a steel frame lined by decorative cast-iron railings. The structure spans the waterway while carrying heating pipes that serve the surrounding buildings.
The original bridge was built in 1931 and underwent complete reconstruction in 1952 under engineer P.B. Bazhenov due to structural damage. This rebuilding restored the crossing to reliable condition.
The bridge connects residential neighborhoods with commercial areas and serves as a natural passageway for locals going about their daily routines. It is woven into the everyday rhythm of the city without calling special attention to itself.
The bridge is positioned at a bend in the canal and is readily accessible to pedestrians crossing the waterway. The best experience comes from taking a slow walk and observing the surroundings without rushing through.
Because of its position at a canal bend, visitors can see the water appearing to flow in multiple directions from the bridge. This effect happens naturally due to the curve and viewing angle.
