American Bridge

The American Bridge is a group of railway bridges spanning the Obvodny Canal on the Moscow Line of the Oktyabrskaya Railway in Saint Petersburg. During the 2006–2012 reconstruction, which cost 4.5 billion rubles and was carried out by the forces of Mostostroy No. 6, the old bridge was completely demolished and replaced with a new one. The testing of the first track with locomotive loading took place on May 6, 2008, and regular traffic under the bridges opened on December 25, 2012, in the presence of Governor G. Poltavchenko. The nearest metro stations, Ligovsky Prospekt and Obvodny Kanal, are 1.5 km away from the facility.
