New Bridge, Barnaul, Road bridge in Barnaul, Russia

The New Bridge is a road bridge over the Ob River in Barnaul, Russia, 940 meters long and 32 meters wide across seven spans, with a deck height of 46 meters. It carries three lanes in two directions, giving it a capacity of more than 20,000 vehicles a day.

The decision to build a new bridge over the Ob was taken during the February 1985 visit of Heydar Aliyev, first deputy chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers. Construction to engineer Mitkevich's design began in the late 1980s, stalled in the early 1990s, and resumed after Boris Yeltsin signed a funding decree on the riverbank in May 1992. The bridge opened on 25 July 1997.

The New Bridge connects central Barnaul to the residential neighborhoods on the right bank of the Ob and is a daily crossing for a large part of the city's population. Pedestrians have a dedicated walkway that offers open views of the river and the surrounding area.

The bridge is open to cars, buses, and pedestrians throughout the day, and traffic can be heavy during morning and evening rush hours. Those crossing on foot should use the dedicated walkways on either side of the road.

From 1998 to 2010, drivers had to pay a toll to cross this bridge, which was an unusual arrangement for an urban road bridge in post-Soviet Russia. The deck sits about 46 meters above the river surface, making it one of the highest crossing points in the region.
