Nicholas Chain Bridge

The British engineer Charles Blacker Vignoles directed the bridge's construction, and Fox, Henderson and Company supplied the ironwork.

In 1920, during the Polish-Soviet War, retreating Polish troops blew up the bridge.

It was restored based on old drawings by Evgeny Paton, and opened again in 1925 under the name Yevgenia Bosch Bridge.

On 19 September 1941, retreating Soviet troops demolished the Yevgenia Bosch Bridge.
