Krasnogvardeysky Bridge, Pedestrian bridge over Griboedov Canal, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Krasnogvardeysky Bridge features granite-faced abutments that extend into the canal, with curved steps leading to the water level.

Built in 1957, the bridge received its name in recognition of the Petrograd Red Guard militias who served during the Russian Revolution.

The bridge structure incorporates cast-iron lanterns mounted on obelisks, reflecting the neoclassical architectural traditions of Saint Petersburg.

Located at coordinates 59.921111, 30.299167, this non-opening bridge allows continuous pedestrian movement across the Griboedov Canal throughout the day.

The bridge's petal-shaped walls flank broad staircases that descend to the water, creating distinct viewing platforms along the canal.
