First Engineer Bridge

The bridge is one of a group of four bridges located near the Mars Field, and opposite the main entrance to the Summer Garden, spanning the Moika River, the Fontanka River, and the Swan Canal in the historic center of the city.

The bridge's sidewalk tiles were designed as a cornice and are supported by rich ornamental bracket figures.

Intricately inscribed plaques with grooves extend from the figures on frieze planes, in the style of Doric triglyph coverings.

The railings, also designed by Charlemagne, comprise several sections of short pilums, placed between bouquets of decorations and inscriptions of round shields, with bas-relief images of the heads of Medusa, with the Gorgon's snaky locks for hair.

In 1994, a small bronze statue of Chizhik-Pyzhik was installed on a ledge in the embankment, opposite the Imperial School of Jurisprudence near the First Engineer Bridge.
