Kamenny Bridge, Regional cultural heritage bridge in Voronezh, Russia.
Kamenny Bridge is a stone bridge spanning a river in Voronezh with design elements from the early 1800s. The structure features multiple arches and connects both sides of the city with wide lanes and separate paths for pedestrians.
Construction began in 1826 and replaced earlier wooden crossings that served Voronezh. Its completion marked a major step forward in the city's infrastructure and allowed growing traffic to pass through.
The bridge has long served as the city's defining landmark and connects two important neighborhoods. Local residents use it daily as a natural route and gathering spot, pausing to take in views of the river below.
The best time to cross is during daylight hours when visibility is good and the paths are clearly marked. In poor weather or at night, walk slowly and watch for uneven spots.
Construction was technically difficult because workers had to dig deep foundations in a flowing river. This engineering achievement was remarkable for its time and demonstrated skills that put Voronezh on the regional map.
