It is a cable-stayed bridge; the steel wire ropes are the key element of the supporting construction.

The general designer of the bridge crossing was CJSC Stroyproekt Institute; the designer of the cable-stayed part was CJSC Giprostroymost Institute in Saint Petersburg; the general contractor was OAO Mostootryad No.

The bridge was built in a section of the Neva that is quite difficult for navigation, not far from the crooked knee bend, but with 126 m high pylons widely spaced along the banks of the Neva and a high span, the bridge is completely invisible to ships passing along the river.

The span height above the water surface (under-bridge clearance) is 30 meters, which allows large vessels to pass freely under the bridge.

Upon completion of construction at the end of 2008, the museum was relocated to the territory of the St. Petersburg branch of OAO Mostootryad No.

[4] In 2006, a New Year tree was installed on the newly built left-bank pylon of the second stage of the bridge.

[5] It was the first time in the history of the city when the name of the bridge was chosen by a referendum among residents of Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast.
