Olginsky bridge

Olginsky Bridge is a cable-stayed crossing that spans the river in Pskov and features steel cables suspended from tall towers. It carries both vehicle and pedestrian traffic between opposite banks of the waterway.

The bridge was built in the early 1900s and represented an important step in Pskov's development as a modern city. It played a key role in connecting areas that had been difficult to reach before.

The bridge is named after Saint Olga and connects different neighborhoods of the city. For locals, it serves as a daily crossing point and a place where one can observe the city from above.

The bridge is open to both vehicles and pedestrians throughout the year and connects well with surrounding roads. During winter weather, surfaces can become slippery, so caution is needed when crossing.

The bridge offers different views of the river and surrounding landscape from each side, particularly across the seasons. Many locals use it not only as a transit route but also as a place to pause and take in the scenery.
