      • Pevchesky is the fourth widest bridge in St Petersburg, after the Blue, Apothecary and Kazan bridges.
      • The first, wooden bridge was built in 1834 to a design by Montferrand — for troops to pass to the parade at the opening of the Alexander Column.
      • The bridge got its name in 1840 because it leads up to the gates of the Court Capella (the Singers' Chapel).
      • Abroad, "Pevchesky Bridge" was a figurative name for the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Empire, which from 1828 stood nearby.
      • According to legend, Nicholas I ordered the bridge built after Count Golovkin, hurrying to dine with him, stepped past the ferry boat straight into the Moika.
      • At the opening of the cast-iron bridge in December 1840, Nicholas I was the first to cross it, in a carriage.
