Second Engineer bridge, Federal cultural heritage bridge in Mikhailovsky Garden, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Second Engineer Bridge spans across the neck between two large ponds on the eastern side of Mikhailovsky Garden with cast-iron construction and brick abutments.
Architect Carlo Rossi designed this bridge in the early 1820s as part of Emperor Alexander I's initiative to redevelop the garden area in 1817.
The bridge stands as an example of nineteenth-century engineering methods, incorporating elements from English landscape garden designs that influenced Russian architecture.
Visitors can access the bridge year-round through designated pathways that connect different sections of Mikhailovsky Garden while exploring Saint Petersburg's historical district.
This structure maintains its position as the only bridge in Saint Petersburg that preserves the majority of its original cast-iron components from 1825.
