The Novovolzhsky Bridge extends over the Volga River with a robust steel construction that connects the two sections of Tver city at coordinates 56.863142, 35.910697.

Construction of the Novovolzhsky Bridge started in 1851, with materials from Saint Petersburg's Neva River bridge, and opened officially on November 3, 1956.
