Kharlamov bridge, Concrete bridge over Griboyedov Canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Kharlamov Bridge crosses the Griboyedov Canal with a single reinforced concrete span faced in granite stone and fitted with simple railings. It serves as a functional crossing point in the canal system that weaves through the city.
An earlier wooden bridge from the 18th century once stood at this location before being replaced by the current concrete structure. The bridge takes its name from a government official who lived in the area during that era.
The bridge represents the engineering evolution of Saint Petersburg's waterway crossings, forming part of the city's extensive network of more than 342 bridges.
The bridge is located on Ulitsa Rimskogo-Korsakogo and connects both banks for vehicle and foot traffic. It remains accessible year-round and serves as a main route near the historic city center.
During the navigation season from April to November, this bridge follows Saint Petersburg's systematic schedule of nightly openings to allow maritime vessels passage.
