Bridges of St. Petersburg. Little-Kalinkin bridge.
Little-Kalinkin bridge located at the confluence of the Griboedov Canal in the Fontanka River. The bridge got its name due to the name of the village that existed here in the early 18th century - Kalinkin village.
A bridge was built at the time of construction and facing the embankments of the canal with granite. The year of construction of the bridge can be considered 1783. The bridge was similar to the Pikalov Bridge. The bridge was three-span, wooden on butt poles, faced with granite. The project was led by engineer Borisov.
In 1893, a major overhaul of the Novo-Kalinkin bridge was carried out.
In connection with the planned opening of the tramway along Sadovaya Street, the bridge was rebuilt with preservation of its historical appearance. Works on the bridge reconstruction were carried out by engineers Mozheiko and Levykin from May 29, 1907 until August 28, 1908. The metal span of the bridge was manufactured at the Putilov Plant.
In 1952, according to the project of the architect Alexander Lukich Rotach, granite obelisks with lanterns on intermediate supports were restored.
In 2007, a complete overhaul of the Novo-Kalinkin bridge was carried out.
The length of the bridge is 27.7 meters. the width of the bridge is 16.22 meters.
This is the last bridge along the Griboyedov Canal.
