Defense Bridge

The Defense Bridge connects Zavodskoy Avenue and Oboronnaya Street in Kolpino, passing over the Izhora Pond near Kolpinsky Park. This facility was opened in 2016, and its construction, along with the reconstruction of the adjacent road section over 2 km long, cost 1.24 billion rubles. The bridge was necessary to relieve the Big Izhora Bridge and divert part of the traffic flow from Lenin Avenue and Proletarskaya Street, and its relevance increased after the construction of the Kresty-2 pre-trial detention center began. Since 2019, the city express route No. 330 to the Shushary metro station has also passed along this route.
