      • The first, chain, bridge was built in 1825–1826 on the model of the Panteleimonovsky Bridge.
      • The sphinxes were cast at the Baird works from a model by the sculptor Pavel Sokolov.
      • In 1905 the bridge collapsed as a cavalry squadron was crossing it.
      • The present bridge opened in 1955, decorated with Egyptian motifs and the old sphinxes.
      • The bridge is an object of cultural heritage of federal significance.
