Kamennostrovsky Bridge

Kamenoostrovsky Bridge is a road metal drawbridge across the Malaya Nevka, connecting Aptekarsky and Kamenny Islands in Saint Petersburg. The current five-span metal bridge with a draw span in the middle was built in 1953–1954 according to the design of engineers V. V. Demchenko and B. B. Levin. Its draw span is double-leaf, of a retractable-opening system with an electromechanical drive, but it is no longer opened. The first permanent bridge at this location was constructed in 1811–1813 according to the design of engineer A. A. Betancourt and became the first in Russia to use wooden arches.
