Sutugin Bridge

Categories / Architecture/Bridges
SUTUGIN BRIDGE, across Bumazhny Canal, along Perekopskaya Street (former Sutugina Street, hence the name), serves as an entrance into Ekateringof Park. Prior to 1795, a wooden bridge existed here; in 1823 it was transformed into a five-span bridge (engineers B. Clapeyron, P.P. Bazen). In 1945, the wooden framework was replaced with the metal one. In 1979, a single-span bridge on reinforced concrete piers was built (engineer V.N. Shlotsky); the curved beam framework made of composite reinforced concrete (transferred from Golovinsky Bridge). On the right-bank abutment of the bridge, the 19th-century red-granite vases have been installed on plinths. The bridge is 25.7 metres long, 9.8 metres wide.
