Sokovsky bridge, Concrete bridge in Oktyabrsky district, Ivanovo, Russia.
Sokovsky Bridge is a reinforced concrete bridge over the Uvod River, carrying Sheremetevsky Prospect. It was built in 1956 to replace an older wooden crossing and reconstructed in 1999. The bridge has four traffic lanes and three main spans.
A wooden bridge first crossed the Uvod here; in 1956 it was replaced by a reinforced concrete structure. The name Sokovsky, taken from the nearby O. S. Sokov manufactory, was officially assigned to the bridge in 1975. A reconstruction followed in 1999.
The name comes from the manufactory of O. S. Sokov, which stood near the crossing; it was used unofficially long before 1975, when the city formally fixed the name Sokovsky. The bridge carries Sheremetevsky Prospect, so the name is read daily on street signs along that avenue.
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.
