The City Of Vitebsk. Pushkin bridge. One of the attractions of the Northern capital of the Republic of Belarus. This 28-meter pedestrian bridge is built across the river Vitba and connects two streets – Pushkin and Tolstoy. It was built in 1961, but, like any other object of culture of Vitebsk, the bridge has its own background.

Of course, through the Vitba and before there was a bridge. However, it is 30 meters closer to the mouth of the river was made of wood, on stilts. The bridge was built in 1860-1870-ies. But after a while this bridge Vitebsk came into disrepair, most likely, this is due to poor quality work. Repair of the Pushkin bridge was carried out one after another, so soon the spacious bridge turned into a narrow bridge, which, moreover, was unsafe. The case went to the construction of the new bridge, which towered over the Vitba in the second half of the 1890s. Built a wooden bridge stood until the 1960-ies of XX century. Pushkin bridge in Vitebsk is a place where love lives and a happy family is born. There is a reason why the couple namely here to lock your happiness at the lock and the key "give" Vitba.
