Kolmovsky bridge

The Kolmovsky Bridge crosses the Volkhov River and links different parts of Veliky Novgorod with its straightforward concrete design. The structure has wide roadways and sidewalks that accommodate both vehicle traffic and pedestrians.

The bridge was built in the late 1970s during a period of Soviet infrastructure expansion in the region. It has since served as a key connection linking both riverbanks of the city.

The bridge serves as a meeting point where local artists display their works and photographers capture images of the surrounding Russian landscapes.

The bridge is easy to cross on foot or by vehicle and sits in a central location with good access from the city. Lanes and sidewalks are clearly marked, making navigation straightforward.

Local traditions include gathering near the bridge during seasonal celebrations, where residents organize impromptu concerts and community events.
