St. Petersburg is rightly called the Northern Venice. Peter the Great dreamed of transforming it into a Russian Venice or Amsterdam, believing that moving around by water canals the locals would be on ferries, boats, floating bridges and not without reason, the total length of rivers and canals in St. Petersburg is about 300 km. However, the city of Peter became a city of bridges and the raised bridge is one of the symbols of St. Petersburg, bridges became an inseparable part of the city. In the city there are 342. They are the famous across the world raised bridges over the Neva, pedestrian and automobile bridges over rivers and canals, small bridges of the suburbs and parks. Each bridge has its unique architectural appearance, its history, its constructive features.
