Bumazhny Bridge

Categories / Architecture/Bridges
BUMAZHNY BRIDGE, across Bumazhny Canal (Paper Canal), by Liflyandskaya Street. A wooden bridge was constructed here by 1795, in 1823 it was rebuilt (engineers A.A. Bethencourt, B. Clapeyron, P.P. Bazen) in wood as a single span arch, in 1862 as a three span bridge with a central double-braced, lateral superstructure. In 1949, the wooden frame was replaced with a metal superstructure (engineers A.D. Saperstein, P.M. Blokhin). In 1962-63, the Bumazhny Bridge was rebuilt as a three span beam bridge with gantry posts (engineer E.A. Boltunova, architect L.A. Noskov). The decking of the bridge was continuous, from prepared high tension reinforced concrete. Length: 29.7 metres, width: 19.3 metres.
