Leningradsky Bridge

Leningradsky Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Eastern Bosphorus strait, connecting Russky Island to the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula. The structure accommodates four traffic lanes and features special wind-resistant design to operate safely during severe weather.

Construction began to provide access to Russky Island for the 2012 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference hosted at Far Eastern Federal University. The project created the first permanent link between the island and the mainland, transforming regional infrastructure.

The bridge serves as a symbol of engineering progress for the Russian Far East and shapes how locals and visitors perceive the region through its striking presence. People recognize it as a landmark that represents connection across the waters between communities.

The best way to experience the bridge is to cross it during the day when its scale and structure are most visible. Most visitors travel by car or local bus services that run between the island and mainland.

The bridge appears on the Russian 2000 ruble note, making it a symbol featured on national currency. This honor reflects its importance as a representation of the Russian Far East within the country.
