🌅 Trinity Bridge

A drawbridge about 580 metres long with openwork lamps and views of the Peter and Paul Fortress.

The bridge was laid on 12 August 1897 under Nicholas II and French President Félix Faure, in response to the laying of the Pont Alexandre III in Paris.
Gustave Eiffel's firm won the competition, but construction went to the French company Batignolles.
Until 1965, when the Alexander Nevsky Bridge opened, the Trinity Bridge, at 582 m, was the longest in the city.
The bridge is dedicated to the 25th wedding anniversary of Alexander III and Maria Feodorovna — the plaques on the obelisks say so.
In 1918–1934 it was called the Equality Bridge, and in 1934–1991 the Kirov Bridge.
The Pulkovo meridian crosses the northern part of the bridge.
Since 2005 the raised span of the Trinity Bridge has been one of the symbols of the Scarlet Sails graduates' festival.
