The Kantemirovsky bridge
The Kantemirovsky bridge shows unique enough structure as gives the chance to three-lane unobstructed automobile movement in each party, and freely not only three, but also four cars there can be located. However so dense motor transportation stream, which Kantemirovsky bridge presumes, arises here not often. Moreover, on the bridge practically never happens stoppers. So surprising phenomenon for a megacity simply enough speaks: the bridge leaves on the prospectus of Physicians which in turn rests against a labyrinth of twisting streets of the Petrograd party too inconvenient for intensive automovement.
In 1817-1821, on the location of the present Kantemirovsky bridge through the Big Nevku, connecting the prospectus of Physicians on Pharmaceutical island with the Vyborg quay and Kantemirovsky street on the Vyborg party, there was a transportation. Only after more than one and a half centuries, during the period with 1979 for 1982, the constant bridge which has become by one of links of the Central arc highway of Petersburg here has been erected. Building of the Kantemirovsky bridge was carried out under the project of engineers B.B.Levin, B.N.Brudno, and the architect And. V.Govorkovskogo. Besides fifteen river flights, the Kantemirovsky bridge has received two more flights over quays and two estakadnye parts in which premises for garages are arranged. The central bridge span is made razvodnym, odnokrylym, with a motionless axis of rotation. Construction support are dressed in a granite, and on foundations razvodnoj parts are strengthened metal pyramidal masts on which fixtures are established. Along all proezzhej bridge parts are located floor lamps. Entrances are decorated by massive granite blocks with unprofitable metal plates on which the bridge name appears. The protective lattice repeats bridge Tuchkov's lattice, it as consists of metal cores of square section which create a volume picture thanks to the freakish interlacing. The length of the bridge has made 315,6 metres (with access ramps — 664 metres) because of what the Kantemirovsky bridge became in Petersburg to the second for length all of them similar constructions. The width of a structure totals 31 metre.
The Kantemirovsky bridge named so, not only proceeding from the name of nearby street, but also in memory of clearing, in December, 1942, railway station Kantemirovki in the Voronezh region from German invaders, under the schedule is raised.
In 2002, having spent 3,9 million roubles, experts of "Lensveta" have carried out art illumination of the bridge, having inhaled during his life a little magics. Now at night days the Kantemirovsky bridge shine 360 fixtures located on all its perimetre. Besides, both under the bridge, and on its support are established powerful a projector, doing night shape of the bridge it is unique the fine.
