Dock Bridge, Bridge over the Peter the Great Canal in Kronstadt, Russia

The Dock Bridge spans the Peter the Great Canal in Kronstadt on riveted metal spans resting on stone abutments built by the Kronstadt port. Engineer-Lieutenant Colonel N. P. Bogdanovsky designed it and the Berd factory carried out the work in 1854–1856. It replaced the wooden sliding "Gorbaty" bridge and takes its name from the nearby Peter the Great Dock.

Built in 1854–1856 on the site of the wooden sliding "Gorbaty" bridge, it took its name from the nearby Peter the Great Dock. The project was drawn up by engineer-lieutenant colonel N. P. Bogdanovsky and executed by Berd's plant, with the Kronstadt port building the abutments. In 1856–1857 a cast-iron railing from the St Petersburg galvanoplastic and mechanical works was installed from the bridge to the sluice gates; the bridge was repaired in 2008 and overhauled in 2019.

The name comes from the nearby Peter the Great Dock, and the bridge was long known simply as the drawbridge. Until recently it was swung aside by hand so ships could enter the dock; the dock is now derelict, yet this remains the only swing bridge in Kronstadt. A cast-iron railing made by the St Petersburg galvanoplastic works runs from the bridge to the sluice gates.

The bridge carries Makarovskaya Street over the Peter the Great Canal, next to the Petrovsky Dock. The cast-iron railing runs from the bridge to the sluice gates. The dock is derelict, so the turning span is rarely opened; its key parts are kept at a bridge-building organisation's base.

Unlike most drawbridges, the Dock Bridge does not lift but pivots sideways. Its turning mechanism long fell out of use after repeated thefts of its parts; after the 2019 overhaul restored it, the key elements are kept at a bridge-building company's base and the span can be swung open if a ship needs the dock.
