Petrovskaya St., 6b, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 197762
The Penkovy Bridge was built in 1873 and rebuilt in 1887–1888. Drawbridges over the Obvodny Canal, which the Penkovy Bridge originally was, allowed the passage of sailing ships with tall masts along the canal. It spans the Obvodny Canal. The crossing acquired its modern appearance in 1971–1972, when another reconstruction was carried out. The bridge preserved the historic roadway surface made of cast iron tiles.
In 2019, the Penkovy Bridge was reconstructed again. The supporting parts were repaired, and the metal structures of the span were treated with anti-corrosion protection. At the same time, the sidewalk surfaces, granite blocks of the abutments, and parapets were replaced, and the cast iron tiles were repaired and restored. The bridge has a beam system and is made of metal. The span consists of eight beams joined by the roadway slab. The outline of the new span repeats the shape of the beams of the previously existing bridge.
A protective layer of hydraulic concrete with a metal mesh and cast iron tiles is laid over the metal slab. The bridge abutments are made of rubble concrete masonry with a hanging granite facing. At the base of the abutments are granite slabs on wooden sleepers.
