1-й мост Круштейна, Steel bridge in Admiralteysky District, Russia.
Description
The First Krushtein Bridge spans the Admiralty Canal, connecting New Holland Island to the Second Admiralty Island. This steel structure measures about 14 meters long and 9 meters wide, allowing both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the waterway.
History
A crossing at this location has existed since the early 1700s, originally built as a wooden structure. The current steel bridge replaced it in 1939.
Culture
The bridge is named after Karl Krushtein, a Baltic Fleet officer who served as navigation commissioner until his death in 1921. His name connects the location to the city's maritime past.
Practical
The crossing can be used by foot or vehicle and features granite-faced abutments that support the structure. It is easiest to cross during quieter times, away from peak traffic hours in the area.
Did you know?
The metal railings on the bridge feature the same decorative patterns as the bridges along the nearby Moyka River. This matching design reflects intentional architectural consistency across the district.
