Bridges of St. Petersburg. The Old-Kalinkin Bridge.
We continue the journey along the Fontanka River. Another interesting architectural structure is the Old-Kalinkin Bridge. The bridge is located at the mouth of the Fontanka River and closes the list of bridges across the river. The name of the bridge arose from the name of the village Kalinkina, located in this place (a Finnish settlement known since the 17th century).
In 1733 there was a wooden multi-span bridge at this place, the length of which reached 250 meters. In addition to the Fontanka River, the bridge overlapped its branch and Krivusha River (the future Griboyedov Canal).
In 1786 - 1788, through a single place on the Fontanka River, a new bridge was built, which corresponded to all standard bridges on the Fontanka River. The authors of the project were Russian military engineers Petr Kornilovich Sukhtelen and Ivan Kondratievich Gerard. The bridge had four towers, located on the main four central pillars, the two outermost spans were granite and the central span was a wooden and opened (for opening a passage on the river).
In this form, the bridge appeared before the inhabitants of St. Petersburg in 1880.
Later, there was a need for expansion and reconstruction of the bridge. In 1889, the project of the architect Ryllo was approved by the City Council and the bridge was rebuilt. The towers of the bridge were preserved, the bridge was extended and reached a width of 30 meters to the end of the works in 1908.
In this form, the bridge "survived" to our days, was subjected to minor repairs in 1969 (gilding of metal structures was made, lanterns and commemorative plaques on the towers were installed).
Another bridge across the Fontanka became familiar to you. Thank you and I'm waiting for you on walks in St. Petersburg.
La arquitectura es una de las cosas mas complejas que existe a mi parecer. Lograr plasmar tu obra en la vida real mas allá de un boceto es algo asombroso. Considerando que hoy en día cada vez son menos las construcciones con un valor histórico, producto de las guerras o del poco interés de un gobierno de conservarlas, se debe valorar las que aun están en pie. Buen post.
Gracias por tu evaluación Siempre es bueno darse cuenta de que estás haciendo algo útil. Intento hablar brevemente y no ir más allá, para que sea tanto útil como obvio.

It is a whole history of structures built by man and specifically this bridge of Petersburg. It is a real journey that they have made along the Fontanka river where they have found other structures as well as the Old Kainkin bridge to collect data
