Emperor Bridge, Railway and road bridge in Ulyanovsk, Russia
The Emperor Bridge spans 2111 meters across the Kuibyshev Reservoir, connecting both sides of Ulyanovsk with two railway tracks and two vehicle lanes.
Construction of the bridge began in 1913 under Nicholas II, following a proposal by Interior Minister Pyotr Stolypin to connect the Volga-Bugulma and Moscow-Kazan railway lines.
Engineer Nikolai Belelyubsky designed this structure, incorporating elements from his previous works such as the Finland Railway Bridge and Alexander Bridge in Syzran.
The bridge serves as part of the R178 highway system, providing essential transportation links between Ulyanovsk and Saransk through multiple public transit routes.
During initial construction, workers used pneumatic caissons for underwater foundation work, making it one of the first Russian bridges to employ this engineering technique.
