The Bolshoi Krestovsky Bridge over the Malaya Nevka is located at the junction of Bolshaya Zelenin Street and Petrogradskaya Street. Then the road winds a little, but leads to the central entrance to the main park of the city - Central Park of Culture and Culture. At the same time, active construction of luxury housing began in these places, so perhaps in the near future the park will not be the main attraction of these places. The length of the bridge is 149 meters, width - 25.5 meters; The weight of metal spans is 815 tons; weight of counterweights 325 tons.
Address:
Big Krestovsky Bridge
The name of the bridge comes from Krestovsky Island.
In 1850, a wooden 11-span bridge was built here, which was subsequently repaired several times. In 1950-1952, a metal 5-span all-welded bridge with a double-wing draw span in the middle part was built on this site (designed by engineer P.V. Andreevsky and architect L.A. Noskov).
In swing spans, each wing has its own axis of rotation and rigidly fixed counterweights;
The wings are deployed using electric winches, but there is also a manual drive for unforeseen cases. The wing opening angle is 78 degrees. The bridge is raised only a few times a year by special request. The river supports are reinforced concrete on high pile grillages. Coastal abutments are reinforced concrete on a wooden pile foundation. The roadway is a reinforced concrete slab with an asphalt concrete surface. The railings and lampposts are borrowed from Gothic. Railings are sections between cast-iron rectangular pedestals, which at the top take the form of crossed pointed arches. Lampposts are tall, round, tapering metal posts. The lamps are multifaceted lanterns suspended from shaped pole brackets. The fences are to some extent similar to the gratings of the Winter Canal. In 1993, the bridge was repaired.
