Yagorbsky bridge, Cherepovets, Road bridge in Cherepovets, Russia
The Yagorbsky Bridge is a road viaduct that crosses the Yagorba River and connects two sides of Cherepovets. The structure has multiple traffic lanes and tracks for trams that link different parts of the city together.
The structure was completed in 1964 and was a major step in developing transport infrastructure for the growing industrial city. It enabled better connection between city districts that were previously difficult to reach.
The bridge connects two districts and is used daily by locals for work and daily errands. It has become a natural reference point where people orient themselves and move through the city.
The bridge is passable year-round and undergoes regular inspections to remain safe and functional. Pedestrians and vehicles can cross it easily, especially when using the integrated walkways.
The bridge was rebuilt in three stages between 2008 and 2011 without ever closing to traffic: the southern third was added from November 2007 to October 2008, the northern third from November 2008 to October 2009, and the old span was then demolished and replaced by the middle third. Trams ran across the northern section until the middle one opened, and the new bridge was finished on 4 November 2011.
