Vinogradovsky bridge, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Krasnoyarsk, Russia.
Vinogradovsky Bridge, also called Vantovy Bridge, is a cable-stayed crossing over the Yenisei channel between Stary Bazar (Strelka) and Tatyshev Island. Its two pylons are pairs of light-grey concrete columns joined by a crossbeam, with white cables fanning to a steel-and-concrete deck about 10 m wide. It is 600.5 m long with a 155 m main span.
Construction began in 1979, carried out by Mostotryad No. 7, the team also building the Oktyabrsky and Korkinsky bridges. The bridge opened in 1986, not 1981 as some sources wrongly state, at a cost of 2,675.29 thousand roubles. First named after city founder Andrey Dubensky, it was renamed Vinogradovsky in 1999 by city administration decree No. 336 in memory of Sergey Vinogradov, head of Mostotryad No. 7 and Hero of Socialist Labour.
Residents call it Vantovy most, after its cable-stayed design, alongside the official name. A memorial plaque to Sergey Vinogradov, head of Mostotryad No. 7 and a Hero of Socialist Labour, stands at the bridge's start by Ploshchad Mira. It links Stary Bazar with Tatyshev Island, a park reached on foot or by bike.
The bridge is 600.5 metres long and about 10 metres wide, with a main span of 155 metres over the Yenisei channel. Cars are not allowed, so the deck is used only by pedestrians and cyclists. It links the Stary Bazar (Strelka) area, at the mouth of the Kacha, with Tatyshev Island. A memorial plaque stands at the Ploshchad Mira end.
The structure features a central span of 155 meters, making it a substantial example of modern bridge engineering in Siberia.
