New Bridge, Barnaul

The New Bridge spans the Ob River with seven spans over a total length of 940 meters and a width of 32 meters. The roadway has three lanes for vehicles and features separate pathways for pedestrians alongside routes for public transport.

The bridge was built in the late 1980s following approval from a high-ranking Soviet official. The project arose from the need to connect the city center with growing residential areas on the opposite bank.

The bridge connects the city center to residential areas on the right bank and is used by locals every day. It naturally brings together people from different parts of the city.

The bridge is fully accessible for cars, pedestrians, and buses and sees heavy traffic daily. It is best to cross it when vehicle traffic is not at its peak.

From 1998 to 2010, vehicles had to pay a toll to cross this bridge. The structure stands approximately 46 meters above the river.
