Galerny Bridge, Steel bridge on Admiralty Shipyard territory in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Galerny Bridge spans across the Fontanka River between two islands using a single-span steel structure with vertical metal supports. The construction was designed to serve the shipyard territory and displays simple industrial engineering.
The bridge received its current name in 1977, honoring the former Admiralty Bridge that crossed the New Admiralty Canal until the 1840s. It was constructed as part of the shipyard complex in Saint Petersburg and has served this industrial site ever since.
The Galerny Bridge marks the final crossing point of the Fontanka River before it flows into the Neva River near the Finnish Gulf.
The bridge is located on shipyard grounds and is normally not accessible to the public. Those interested can view the structure from outside the fenced area or learn more about it through city museums.
Located within the restricted territory of the Admiralty Shipyard, this bridge remains closed to regular visitors but maintains industrial significance.
