Khrapovitsky Bridge

Categories / Architecture/Bridges
KHRAPOVITSKY BRIDGE (in 1738 known as Zhelty, on the plan of 1798 marked as Sinyavin; later called Galerny or Korabelny, from Galerny Yard), across the Moika River, connects Pisareva Street with Admiralteysky Canal Embankment. The name dates back to the late 18th century and originates from the neighbouring mansion belonging to A.V. Khrapovitsky (secretary to Empress Catherine II). In 1737, a multi-span wooden girder bridge with a opening span was built here (replaced in 1935). The present-day single-span bridge was built in 1965-67 (engineer E.A. Boltunova, architect L.A. Noskov). The frame is made of prestressed concrete, with a cantilevered structure, the footing is faced with granite. The bridge is 43.4 metres long and 20 metres wide.
