Pevchesky Bridge
Pevchesky Bridge across the Moika River near Palace Square. This is another bridge-square in the central historical part of the city. And, alas, another one, turned into a banal parking lot for cars. The authorities like to ban things a lot and for the wrong reasons, but this is exactly the case when a ban would only benefit the city. But who cares about that? The length of the bridge is 24 meters, the width is 72 meters.
Address:
Pevchesky Bridge
Named after the nearby Singing Chapel.
Here in 1834 a wooden bridge was built according to the design of the architect O. R. Montferrand. It was intended for the passage of troops participating in the opening ceremony of the Alexander Column to Palace Square. The bridge was named Yellow because of its paint color.
In 1839-1840, a cast iron single-span arch bridge was built (designed by engineer E.A. Adam).
The span structure consists of cast iron boxes fastened together with bolts. The abutments of the bridge are stone, lined with granite, erected on pile grillages.
Cast iron openwork gratings are installed as railings on the bridge. On top it was paved with pink and gray paving stones. The bridge was inaugurated on November 24, 1840, and the emperor himself was the first to cross it in a carriage.
In 1937, the roadway of the bridge was covered with a layer of asphalt. In 2004, specialists from Lenmostostroy and the Intarsia company carried out a complete reconstruction of the Pevchesky Bridge.
