Sokovsky bridge, Concrete bridge in Oktyabrsky district, Ivanovo, Russia.
Sokovsky Bridge is a concrete structure spanning the Uvod River with four traffic lanes and three main spans. The crossing was built using a beam-cantilever design that supports both cars and pedestrians.
The original structure was a wooden crossing that was completely rebuilt in concrete during 1956. The bridge received its official name in 1975.
The bridge takes its name from a textile factory that once stood nearby on the riverbank and shaped the local area. The name reflects the industrial past that defined the neighborhood for generations.
The bridge is easy to reach and is located on Sheremetev Avenue, where both drivers and pedestrians can move freely throughout the day. There are no major seasonal restrictions affecting regular use.
Until 2007, tram lines ran across the bridge before the entire tram network in the city was shut down. This crossing once served as a vital public transit route for commuters and travelers.
