Almazny Bridge

The Almazny Bridge is a reinforced concrete crossing over the Volovka River that connects different parts of Saint Petersburg. It consists of three distinct sections and serves both vehicles and pedestrians in their daily journeys across the waterway.

Engineer Lev Aleksandrovich Noskov designed this bridge during Saint Petersburg's period of expanded urban development in the mid-20th century. It was built as the city modernized its transportation network and created new connections across its waterways.

The bridge represents Soviet engineering methods of the mid-twentieth century, emphasizing functional design principles in urban infrastructure development.

The bridge provides separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians, each offering safe passage across the waterway. Visitors can cross on foot or by car and easily reach the other side of the river.

Located at coordinates 59°52'44"N and 30°21'11"E, the bridge demonstrates the implementation of reinforced concrete construction techniques in Russian infrastructure.
