Severny Bridge, Concrete bridge in Voronezh, Russia
Severny Bridge is a reinforced concrete road bridge in Voronezh, Russia, spanning the Voronezh Reservoir and linking the western and eastern parts of the city. It carries multiple lanes of traffic and is used by both private vehicles and public transport lines.
The bridge was completed in 1985 as one of the city's major infrastructure projects during the Soviet era. It replaced older and less capable crossings, making the connection between the two sides of the reservoir more reliable.
The bridge crosses the Voronezh Reservoir and is part of the daily routine for many residents commuting between the two sides of the city. Those who cross on foot can take in open views over the water and the low shoreline on both sides.
The bridge is open at all hours and accessible on foot as well as by vehicle. Traffic on the main lanes can be heavy during morning and evening rush hours, so walking across is more comfortable outside those times.
The bridge was built with hollow sections beneath the roadway that were intended to house a future metro line. That metro line was never built, and those spaces have remained empty ever since.
