Second Garden bridge, Regional heritage bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Second Garden Bridge is a stone structure spanning across water in Saint Petersburg with traditional Russian architectural features. Built in the late 18th century, it connects different areas within the Summer Garden grounds.
The bridge was built during Catherine the Great's reign as Saint Petersburg expanded its infrastructure and water systems. It is part of the original development of the garden grounds from that era.
The bridge links different sections of the Summer Garden, serving as a daily passage for visitors moving between the park areas. Its name reflects its location within this historic green space.
The bridge is accessible throughout the year for both pedestrians and vehicles crossing over. It sits within the Summer Garden area and is easily reached via existing pathways.
The original structural elements from its construction period remain intact today, despite modifications made over time. This blend of original design and practical improvements makes it an interesting example of how historical infrastructure is maintained.
