Matisov Bridge

Categories / Architecture/Bridges
MATISOV BRIDGE (Sukharny), over the Pryazhka River, links the left embankment of the Moika River with Matisov Island (hence the name). In 1737, a timber girder bridge stood here. In 1836-39, a three-span timber arch bridge on stone slab abutments with granite sockets (engineers А.D. Gotman, А.F. Buttatz) was built. In 1935, the wooden arches were replaced with metal beams. In 1993-98, the bridge was rebuilt as a three-span arch deck bridge, with an orthotropic slab (engineer L.N. Sobolev). It has double-hinged arches. The abutments rest on bored piles, with a stone slab facing. The piers are made of reinforced concrete, the abutments on a pile base and are riveted with granite. Length: 39.7 metres, width: 10.5 metres.
