Categories / Architecture/Bridges
IZMAYLOVSKY BRIDGE, over the Fontanka River, links Voznesensky and Izmaylovsky Avenues (hence the name). In 1738 there was a timber bridge here, the present bridge was built around 1786-88 (one of the seven typical bridges over the Fontanka, see Belinskogo Bridge). In 1861 the opening span girder was replaced with a gauged arch with granite arches at the facade (engineer V.V. Dymman), the towers were dismantled, the sidewalks were placed outside on the brackets, a wrought railing was added (architect А. I. Krakau). Length 72.5 m, width 15.9 m.
