The bridge....
“Instantly recognizable thanks to the swooping arched girders of its two side spans, the lamps and the four granite Norman Towers that mark the corners of the third small central span, the Peter the Great Bridge, also known as Bolsheokhtinsky bridge, is one of the most impressive bridges in Saint Petersburg.
Measuring over 300 meters long and 23.5 meters wide, this bridge has an innovative mechanism that allows the narrow (14.6-meter) central span to be raised in only 30 seconds since it was open to the traffic in 1911.” This was such a beautiful and fascinating bridge that I found myself taking picture after picture of it!
