Komsomolsky Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Novosibirsk, Russia.
The Komsomolsky Railway Bridge is a steel structure spanning approximately 880 meters across the Ob River in Novosibirsk. It carries trains on a single track between the banks, serving as a vital crossing point for rail traffic in the region.
The bridge was built between 1930 and 1931, becoming the second railway crossing over the Ob River in the region. It grew out of efforts to strengthen rail connections across Siberia during that era.
The bridge construction represented the determination of Soviet workers to expand infrastructure during the first five-year economic development plan period.
The bridge carries daily passenger and freight train service, making it an active transport link across the Ob River. Regular service operates year-round, handling the demands of regional rail traffic.
The structure features semi-parabolic truss design that engineers created to handle extreme temperature swings and seasonal ice movements on the river. This approach allowed the bridge to endure one of Siberia's most challenging climates.
