T. PETERSBURG BRIDGES
(1) The early temporary St. Petersburg bridges were made by tying several barges at
an anchor together. Some first bridges were timber or floating ones. Tzar Peter the Great
prohibited bridge building in the young city in spite of the fact that it was situated on nu-
merous islets of the Neva River delta and its tributaries. Peter the Great wanted to make
the inhabitants use boats for crossing water obstacles. After his death in 1762 the Depart-
ment for Bridges and Roads was established. That was the starting point for an intensive
bridge erection to span numerous rivers, the Neva tributaries, canals, channels, etc.
(2) Before 1834 sixty-five timber, twenty-six stone, ten floating and sixteen cast
iron bridges were erected in St. Petersburg. It was a flourishing bridge age as the structures
were of a high artistic value and had outstanding architectural merits. Hermitage Bridge,
Winter Palace Bridge, Prachechny Bridge are among these masterpieces.
(3) The most attractive bridges are in the parks of the Tsarskoye Selo and a number
of suspension bridges spanning the Fontanka River and Griboyedov canal. Seven suspen-
sion bridges were built in St. Petersburg between 1820-1840. Three of them survived to
our days and we can admire the graceful Bank Bridge, Lion Bridge and Post Bridge.
