Некрасовский мост, Road bridge in Kurgan, Russia
The Nekrasovsky Bridge crosses the Trans-Siberian Railway and links Kurgan's center with the northern districts of Zaozyorny and Ryabkovo. The structure allows vehicles and pedestrians to span the railway line, creating a vital connection between different parts of the city.
Construction began in 1955 and the bridge opened in 1957 to connect the expanding city across the railway line. A major railway accident led to its reconstruction in 1977 to ensure the safety and reliability of this crossing.
The bridge takes its name from Nekrasov Street and serves as a daily passage for residents connecting different neighborhoods. It reflects how the city developed by building connections across the railway.
The bridge is open to traffic and provides an important passage for vehicles crossing between different parts of the city. Pedestrians can also walk across it and get a clear view of the railway lines and the surrounding neighborhoods.
In 2008 the bridge received decorative lighting displaying the colors of the Russian flag to mark the region's anniversary. The lighting installation transforms it into a visible landmark at night and shows its importance to the local identity.
