Suspension bridge, Suspension bridge in Voronezh, Russia.
The Suspension bridge is a pedestrian footbridge 83 m long, the only suspension bridge in Voronezh. It links the left bank of the Voronezh River with the Pridachenskaya dam on the Voronezh reservoir. Concrete blocks bar vehicles from the deck, which received lighting in 2007.
Before the Voronezh Reservoir existed, a road from the Pridachenskaya dam met Dimitrova Street at this spot, where a wooden bridge crossed a lake in the Voronezh floodplain. The present suspension bridge, the city's only one, later took its place and now links the left bank to the dam. Electric lighting was installed on the bridge in 2007.
Newlyweds and couples cross the bridge to carry the bride over it and attach a "love lock", a custom noted by locals. Cadets from the nearby military aviation academy often run across it in the morning.
The bridge is closed to cars by concrete blocks, so access is on foot or by bicycle only. It links the left bank of the Voronezh to the Pridachenskaya dam of the reservoir. Lighting was installed in 2007, and the ramps need repainting.
The bridge utilizes a system of vertical suspenders and main cables that distribute weight loads effectively across its entire span.
