      • The bridge is named after the “Kiss” (Potselui) tavern of the merchant Nikifor Potseluev, which stood nearby from 1739.
      • Construction of the cast-iron bridge began in 1808, but because of the war with Napoleon it was finished only in 1816.
      • Griboyedov wrote that the flood of 1824 had shifted the Potseluev Bridge from its place.
      • In 1907–1908 the bridge was rebuilt to a design by Andrey Pshenitsky, keeping the granite obelisks.
      • The bridge is mentioned in the 1950s song “Leningrad Bridges”, performed by Leonid Utyosov.
