Obukhovsky Bridge, Stone bridge over Fontanka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Obukhovsky Bridge extends across the Fontanka River, carrying Moskovsky Prospekt through the central section of Saint Petersburg with reinforced concrete construction.
The initial wooden structure from 1717 was replaced by a stone bridge between 1785 and 1786, followed by major modifications in 1865 and 1938.
The bridge features in Nikolai Gogol's narrative 'The Overcoat', where the character Akaky Akakievich walks near the structure during the story's events.
The bridge connects both banks of the Fontanka River along Moskovsky Prospekt, providing passage for vehicles and pedestrians in the urban transportation network.
The bridge underwent reconstruction in 1939, when engineers maintained its historical appearance by covering the new concrete structure with traditional granite facing.
