Pochtamtsky Bridge

Postoffice Bridge (Russian: Почтамтский мост, Pochtamtskiy most) is a pedestrian bridge across Moika River in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

It is located near the central Postoffice building, from which it takes the name.

The bridge was built in 1823-1824 to designs by architects Wilhelm von Traitteur and Christianovich as a pedestrian bridge suspended by chains.

With the time the construction became unstable, and it was reengineered in 1936 by setting the additional support underneath it, so the chains became merely a decoration.
