Categories / Architecture/Bridges

ILIINSKY BOLSHOY BRIDGE (Ilyinsky, Okhtinsky No.3), across the Okhta River, along Revolution Highway. Named after the Church of St. Elijah the Prophet. Constructed in 1912, it replaced a wooden bridge. The aperture is covered with three-span continuous beam, by the Zhelezo-Beton Company; engineer G.A. Hirschson. It is the first reinforced concrete bridge in St. Petersburg. In 1950, the piers were strengthened (engineer V.V. Demchenko); in 1964, the footwalks were placed on cantilevers. In 2002, as part of a capital overhaul a reinforced concrete plate was added, worn elements of the bridge floor were substituted with new ones; near to it a new bridge with metal girders, reproducing the image of the old one, was constructed (Stroiproekt Civil Engineering Institute; engineer A.A. Stanevich). The length is 37.9 metres, the width is 11.2 metres.
