Novo-kamenniy Bridge

Novo-kamenniy Bridge is a crossing of the Obvodny Canal in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation.

The bridge forms part of Ligovsky Avenue and connects Bezimyanni Island with the Tsentralny and Frunzensky districts of the city.

The 'Erakov' bridge featured granite pools for drinking from,[clarification needed by rewording sentence] with the water being sourced from the Ligovsky Canal.

With intensive building in southern areas of (the then) Leningrad in the 1950s, Ligovsky Avenue and the roads around Obvodny Canal Quay became congested.

The current bridge was designed by architect L. A. Noskov[citation needed] and was constructed between 1968 and 1970, developed by engineers N. P. Agapov and A. D.
