Bank Bridge

Bank Bridge (Russian: Bankovsky most, Банковский мост) is a 25 m (82 ft) long pedestrian bridge crossing the Griboedov Canal near the former Russian Assignation Bank in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The bridge engineer was Wilhelm von Traitteur, who conceived of a pedestrian separation structure suspended by cables.

The special popularity of the bridge was gained through angular sculptures of four winged lions crowning the abutments.

The bridge is in front of the former Assignation Bank building (now housing the Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance).

In 2007-2008 Griboyedov Canal Embankment from Kazan Cathedral to the Bank Bridge was renovated.
