Staro-Kalinkin Bridge, Stone bridge at Fontanka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Staro-Kalinkin Bridge extends 65.6 meters across the Fontanka River, connecting Kolomensky Island and Bezymyanny Island in the Admiralty District.
The bridge began as a wooden construction in 1733, underwent transformation to metal in 1788, and received major modifications between 1892 and 1893 under architect M.I. Ryllo.
The structure retains its original granite towers, commemorative plaques, and decorative elements that exemplify Saint Petersburg's architectural traditions from the 18th century.
The 30.8-meter width accommodates vehicle lanes, tram tracks, and pedestrian paths, serving as a central transportation link in Saint Petersburg's infrastructure system.
Four granite obelisks mark the corners of the bridge, complemented by stone benches and historical lampposts restored during the 1965 renovation project.
