Volgograd Bridge, Suspension bridge in Volgograd, Russia
The Volgograd Bridge spans 1212 meters across the Volga River, connecting the cities of Volgograd and Krasnoslobodsk with its steel and concrete structure.
Construction of the bridge began in 1996 and faced significant delays due to funding issues, reaching only 40 percent completion by 2005 before its inauguration in 2009.
The bridge received the nickname 'Dancing Bridge' after an incident in May 2010 when strong winds caused vertical oscillations of the bridge deck.
Engineers installed dampening devices following the 2010 oscillation event to prevent future movements and ensure safe passage for vehicles crossing the structure.
The bridge employs a distinctive engineering approach that separates vertical and horizontal loads, featuring a main metal span of 155 meters.
