Yaroslavl railway bridge

Yaroslavl railway bridge, Railway bridge over the Volga in Yaroslavl, Russia

Yaroslavl railway bridge is the only railway crossing over the Volga in Yaroslavl, on the Privolzhye–Filino section of the Northern Railway. Its five river spans are 145.6 m each, with two 20 m bank spans; the 1913 lattice arches were replaced by trapezoidal trusses in 2005.

Construction began in 1910, but in 1912 a span collapsed shortly before completion. The bridge opened on 21 February 1913, timed to the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, and was consecrated by the future Patriarch Tikhon. Nicholas II inspected it on 21 May 1913, and on 31 May it was named Emperor Nicholas II Bridge, known popularly as the Imperial, Nikolaevsky or Romanovsky bridge.

The bridge's imperial name comes from its opening on 21 February 1913, timed to the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty; it was consecrated by the future Patriarch Tikhon. Nicholas II inspected it on 21 May 1913, and on 31 May it was named Emperor Nicholas II Bridge, popularly Imperatorsky, Nikolayevsky or Romanovsky.

The best views of the bridge can be found from the riverbank or nearby roads that overlook the crossing. Since it remains an active railway line, visitors should maintain a safe distance and not attempt to access the structure directly.

The 1913 bridge had five semicircular lattice trusses of 145.6 m each, weighing 1,200 tonnes apiece, plus two 20 m shore spans; no roadway for horse carriages was provided, only two footpaths inside the trusses beside the single track. The 1912 collapse of one nearly finished span delayed the opening.
