Torgovy bridge connects Teatralnaya Ploshchad and the street Soyuza Pechatnikov.

In the newspaper "Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti" the name Sredny Bridge was recorded in 1797, however, since 1798, the street name Torgovy was established instead.

The author of the project is unknown, the work was carried out by the contractor Nikolai Egorov.

Since 1896, the city council had repeatedly sent requests to the Duma to allocate funds for the overhaul of the Torgovoy Bridge.

[9] In the summer of 1905, the wooden girders of the bridge were replaced with metal I-beams, and the masonry of the abutments was fixed.

The breakdown of the spans is as follows: 6.45, 11.15, and 6.45 m. The superstructure consists of steel I-beams with a curvilinear silhouette on the lower portion.

The supports are made of rubble masonry with massive granite cladding.

On 29 April 2005, the Torgovy Bridge tanker, serial number 02743, was launched at the Admiralty Shipyard.

The tanker is the fourth ship in a series built at the shipyards for Sovcomflot (Open Joint Stock Company).
