The construction of the bridge was undertaken by a team of skilled Russian workers and technicians, who were overseen by the experienced engineer Evgeny Karlovich Knorre.

[1] The ambitious project commenced in 1895, with the momentous occasion of laying the first stone taking place on August 30, 1896. Notable figures present at this historic event included the esteemed Yenisei governor, P.M. Preynne, the dedicated engineer E.K.

Within this stone, a precious manuscript was carefully inserted, containing invaluable details about the esteemed builders and distinguished guests who were present during this momentous occasion.

During these tests, a total of two trains, each comprising four powerful engines and six carriages loaded with heavy rails, were carefully driven across the newly constructed bridge.

Following these initial load tests, two additional engines accompanied by carriages carrying rails were sent across the bridge at a remarkable speed of 70 kilometers per hour.

The structure was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal at the Exposition Universelle (1900), thanks to the dedicated efforts of a special committee headed by the renowned Gustave Eiffel.

[3][4] In 2003, representatives of Russian Railways wanted to exclude the bridge from the list of cultural heritage sites by contacting the Legislative Assembly of Krasnoyarsk Krai.
