Name of the bridge

Story

The first wooden bridge across the Fontanka River in the alignment of modern Moskovsky Prospekt was built in 1717. The bridge had a transverse slot 70 cm wide in the middle, intended for the passage of masted ships; during the day this gap was filled with boards. In 1738 the crossing was rebuilt.

In 1785, a new stone bridge was built, one of seven typical three-span stone bridges across the Fontanka. Most literary sources call the author of the project the French engineer J.-R. Perrone (although this has not been documented). The bridge was three-span, with arched side spans and a wooden draw span in the middle. Open granite towers topped with domes were erected over the river supports. They are obsessed with the mechanisms of the draw span. In 1865, according to the project of engineer Mikhailov, the wooden drawbridge was replaced by a permanent brick vault, and the overhead granite towers were dismantled. By design, the bridge became three-span, with stone vaulted spans, the openings in the light of which along the longitudinal axis were 13.9; 9,17 and 14 m. its lifting boom was 1.52 m. The abutments and river supports were also made of stone, lined with granite. The railings were metal and were ordinary straight rods, between which small rings were inserted at the top and bottom. The longitudinal axis of the bridge made an angle of 67° 15’ with the direction of the faces of the supports.

By the end of the 1930s, it became necessary to rebuild the bridge, since its width, which did not reach 16.5 m, limited traffic along the International Avenue with a width of 30.6 m. In addition, subsidence was observed in the brick vaults of the central span with seams opening up to 25 mm. In 1937, the design department of the Office for the Maintenance of Bridges and Embankments began to develop a project for a new bridge. The authors were engineer V. V. Demchenko and architect L. A. Noskov. In 1939 the bridge was opened to traffic.

Design

The bridge is three-span, with solid two-hinged parabolic arches. Outside, the superstructure and supports are lined with granite slabs. The longitudinal axis of the bridge makes an angle of 60° with the direction of the faces of the supports. The span formula of the bridge is 14.4 + 18 + 14.4 m. The width of the bridge between the railings is 30.88 m, the width of the carriageway is 24.6 m, the sidewalks are 3 m each. The river supports and bank abutments are reinforced concrete, on wooden piled foundations. Under them, 1600 wooden piles, 11 m long, were driven in. The sidewalks were paved with granite slabs, the roadway was covered with asphalt concrete. Initially, a gas pipeline of the Leningrad gas network was laid under the riding sidewalk. In 1950, due to a gas leak, an explosion occurred that destroyed part of the granite pavement slabs. The remaining part of the pipe was drowned out and covered with sand. After this incident, it was decided to plug the gas pipelines on other city bridges - Novo-Petergofsky, Komsomolsky and others. Solid granite parapets are installed as railings. Granite obelisks with round glass lanterns on brackets are installed on the abutments.

TO as they say... we built, built and finally built! :)))
The bridge, or rather bridges (2 nearby) turned out to be a feast for the eyes - handsome twins.

December 15, 2004 in St. Petersburg was officially opened new bridge across the Neva - Big cable-stayed, 382-meter handsome man, connecting Oktyabrskaya embankment and Obukhovskoy oborony avenue. There was no second one then, the "twin" was opened three years later, on October 19, 2007.

The bridge is located on the border of the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg and the Vsevolozhsky district Leningrad region, in the middle reaches of the Neva and connects Obukhovskoy Oborony Prospekt and Oktyabrskaya Embankment.

This bridge is one of the most long bridges Russia and the only fixed bridge across the Neva.

In fact, these are two identical bridges with the opposite direction of movement along them. The bridge was built in a rather difficult section of the Neva for navigation, not far from the bend of the Krivoye Koleno, however, with 126 m high pylons widely spaced along the banks of the Neva and a high span. It is believed that the bridge is completely invisible to ships passing along the river, however, the facts are a stubborn thing - the maximum size of ships capable of passing along the Neva from Lake Ladoga in the Neva Bay or reverse direction was reduced in height by 10 m (it was 40 m, and after the bridge was put into operation it became 30 m).

When choosing a name, the authorities first turned to the inhabitants of the city. Petersburgers were not slow to respond.

Names offered a lot, from funny to scary. Most advised to name the bridge "Ladoga". Then came the names - Rybatsky "and" Smolensky ", but there were also original ideas. For example, it was proposed to name the new bridge "Rus" (where the "troika bird" rushes ...); "Petrel" (because it proudly flies over the gray plain); the name of Kulibin, who created the project of a single-span bridge across the Neva as early as 1776; "Koltsevaya" (because it is located on the Ring Road); the name of Sakharov (because that in the rays of the setting sun the bridge resembles a picture nuclear explosion); "Anti-blockade" or "Alibi" (because with its appearance the phrase "Bridges are divorced" has lost its relevance) and also "Olga Berggolts Bridge", "Izhora", "Nevsky", "Leningradsky", etc. There was even a crazy idea to call the bridge "Spartak" (after the name of the nearest garden), they suggested, of course, the name "Zenith", because ... you know ...

The toponymic commission thought about it ... and chose the option that was perfect for the Petersburg ear - "Big Obukhovsky". And now next to the first bridge, already the second and the same handsome twin :)))

Road junctions with Oktyabrskaya embankment and Obukhovskaya Oborony Avenue are very bizarre and complex, and if the first is spread over several hundred square meters on the still free right bank of the Neva, then the second is built on a small piece of land between residential buildings.

Miscellaneous

From the bridge came the names: Obukhovsky Prospekt (in the 19th century - part of the current Moskovsky Prospekt from Sennaya Square to Fontanka) and Obukhovskaya Square on Moskovsky Prospekt near the Fontanka River.
F. M. Dostoevsky, who arrived to enter the Engineering School, moved into the hotel located near the Obukhovsky bridge in 1837.

The Bolshoi Obukhovsky Bridge (often referred to simply as the Cable-stayed Bridge) is a cable-stayed fixed bridge across the Neva. Located on the border of the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg and the Vsevolozhsky district of the Leningrad region, in the middle reaches of the Neva; connects Obukhovskoy Oborony Avenue and Oktyabrskaya Embankment. One of the longest bridges in Russia. In fact, these are two identical bridges with the opposite direction of movement on them, having a common name: the upper one is for driving in an easterly direction, the lower one is for driving in a western direction. The only undivided and largest bridge across the Neva.

Design

The general designer of the bridge crossing is Stroyproekt Institute CJSC, the cable-stayed part designer is Giprostroymost Institute CJSC - St. Petersburg, the general contractor is Mostootryad No. 19 OJSC. The following organizations also took part in the construction of the bridge: Mostootryad No. 10, Mostootryad No. 18, Mostootryad No. 90, MTF Mostootryad No. 114, Mostootryad No. 125, which are part of Mostotrest, (they were engaged in the construction of the right-bank part of the cable-stayed bridge, as well as exits on the left bank) and other subcontracting organizations. The bridge was built in a section of the Neva, which is quite difficult to navigate, not far from the bend of the Krivoe knee, however, with pylons 126 m high and a high span widely spaced along the banks of the Neva, the bridge is completely invisible to ships passing along the river. Road interchanges with Oktyabrskaya Embankment and Obukhovskaya Oborony Prospekt are complex, and if the first stretches over several hundred square meters on the still free right bank of the Neva, the second is built on a small piece of land between residential buildings along Rabfakovskaya Street and Obukhovskaya Oborony Prospekt, where, in addition, there are a tram line and railway tracks leading from railway station Obukhovo to the Obukhovsky plant. The total length of the bridge crossing is 2884 meters, including a navigable span of 382 meters and bridge ramps. The height of the span above the water surface (bridge clearance) is 30 meters, which allows large vessels to pass freely under the bridge. Because of this bridge, the maximum clearance of ships capable of passing along the Neva from Lake Ladoga to the Neva Bay or in the opposite direction was reduced in height by 10 m. ovsky was made 10 m lower - only 30 m high. In 2003, the Cable-stayed Bridge Museum was opened at the construction site - the only museum in St. Petersburg of one construction site. Upon completion of construction at the end of 2008, the museum was moved to the territory of the St. Petersburg branch of OJSC "Mostootryad No. 19" in Krasnoe Selo. In 2006, a New Year tree was installed on the newly built left-bank pylon of the second stage of the bridge. Thanks to the pylon, it has become the tallest New Year tree in the city.

Bolshoi Obukhovsky Bridge - one of the longest bridges in Russia

Big Obukhovsky bridge- a cable-stayed fixed bridge across the Neva, located on the border of the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg and the Vsevolozhsky district of the Leningrad region, in the middle reaches of the Neva.

The bridge was built in a rather difficult section of the Neva for navigation, where the river further makes the so-called “blind knee”, however, with 126 m high pylons and a high span widely spaced along the banks of the Neva, the bridge is completely invisible to ships sailing along the river. Road junctions with Oktyabrskaya Embankment and Obukhovskaya Oborony Avenue are very bizarre and complex, and if the first one is spread over several hundred square meters on the still free right bank of the Neva, then the second one is built on a small piece of land between residential buildings along Rabfakovskaya Street and Obukhovskaya Oborony Avenue, where, in addition, there is a tram line and railway lines leading from the Obukhovo railway station to the Obukhovsky Plant.

The total length of the bridge crossing is 2824 meters, including the navigable span of 382 meters and the ramps from the bridge. The height of the span above the water surface is 30 meters.

For the first time in the history of the city, when choosing a name for the bridge, a rating vote was held among residents of St. Petersburg and residents of the Leningrad Region. In addition to the real name, such as, for example, “Olga Bergholz Bridge”, “Izhorsky”, “Nevsky”, “Leningradsky” and others were proposed. The bridge is named after the nearby Obukhov, taking into account the fact that the Obukhovsky bridge already exists in St. Petersburg.

Opening of the first stage Big Obukhovsky bridge took place on December 15, 2004. It was an important component of the St. Petersburg Ring Road (KAD). The President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin took part in the opening of the bridge.

On October 19, 2007, the “twin” bridge was solemnly opened - the second stage of the bridge, and since January 2008, one-way four-lane traffic has been organized on each of the “halves of the bridge”.

In 2003, the Cable-stayed Bridge Museum was opened at the construction site - the only museum in St. Petersburg of one construction site. Upon completion of the construction, the museum exposition was moved to the territory of the bridge group No. 19.

In 2006, on the newly built left-bank pylon of the second stage Big Obukhovsky bridge The Christmas tree was set up. Thanks to the pylon, it became the tallest New Year tree in the city.
