Malo-Krestovskii bridge, bridge in Russia

The Malo-Krestovskii bridge carries Prospect Dinamo across the Krestovka River between Kamenny and Krestovsky Islands. Built in 1961–1962 to designs by engineer Yu. L. Yurkov and architect L. A. Noskov, it is a single-span reinforced concrete frame: a two-hinged frame with inclined legs, a type called "running deer", with a calculated span of 46 m and a rise of 4 m. Its total length is 56 m and its width 13 m.

Around 1817 a floating pontoon bridge stood on this site; in 1842 it was replaced by a wooden five-span riga-strut bridge, one of whose two designers was Lieutenant Plessov. It was repaired in timber in 1866, 1870 and 1893 under engineer N. M. Mazurov, and by 1903 measured 74.7 m long and 10.7 m wide. Rebuilt in 1940–1941 with metal girders on wooden pile supports, it was replaced in 1961–1962 by the present reinforced concrete frame bridge, designed by engineer Yu. L. Yurkov and architect L. A. Noskov.

The bridge's name changed with the city's bridges: from 1836 it was the Krestovsky or Kameno-Krestovsky bridge, named for the two islands it links; from 1860 it became the Maly Krestovsky after the Bolshoy Krestovsky bridge over the Malaya Nevka; the present form has been fixed since the 1920s. It carries traffic along the axis of Dinamo Avenue.

The bridge features separated sidewalks divided from the roadway by granite stone edging and metal railings for pedestrian safety. The asphalt surface makes crossing smooth and straightforward for both vehicles and foot traffic.

The arch is specifically designed to allow boats and ships to pass underneath without obstruction. This makes it an important part of the waterway transportation system in a city renowned for its many canals and bridges.
