Night view of Finland Railway Bridge, Neva river, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Finland Railway Bridge are a pair of parallel bridges across the Neva River in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The bridges link the railway networks in the north of St Petersburg with those in the south of St Petersburg. The same singular name is applied to both of the bridges. The first bridge was built in 1910–1912 by engineers Nikolay Appolonovich Belelyubsky, Grigory Grigorievich Krivoshein, Aleksandrov and architect Vladimir Petrovich Apyshkov. As constructed, it was a steel bridge 538 metres long, carrying two tracks and a pedestrian walkway. There are four equal spans, each 110 metres apart and a shorter double-flight drawspan in the centre. The bridge was primarily funded by the Grand Duchy of Finland because of the strategic value it delivered by connecting the Finland railway and the Finnish State Railways with the Russian Railways system.
