      • The first bridges were built in the 1840s for the St Petersburg–Moscow railway; the work was led by the American engineer Whistler.
      • The bridge was nicknamed "American" for its American design; the name later passed to the neighbouring ones.
      • The wooden bridges were replaced with metal ones in 1888–1889.
      • Until 31 December 2008 all five bridges were officially called the Nikolaevsky Railway Bridge.
      • The reconstruction of 2006–2012 cost 4.5 billion roubles; on 25 December 2012 embankments under the bridges were opened.
