Gorstkin Bridge across the Fontanka River 9.21.2014

Translated from Russian Wikipedia:
Gorstkin Bridge (Горсткин мост) is a pedestrian bridge across the Fontanka River in Saint Petersburg, in the continuation of the street Efimova.

Until 1952, the street was called Efimov Gorstkin street by the name of the homeowner, who in the 70-ies of the XIX century, built near the Haymarket Square a number of commercial premises.

A wooden bridge was erected here in 1910. In 1949 the design was replaced with metal, with wooden flooring. Heating pipes are hidden within the bridge.
