Translated from Russian Wikipedia:
Peter and Paul (Petropavlovsky) Bridge (ПЕТРОПАВЛОВСКИЙ мост) crosses the Karpovka River in St. Petersburg to connect Petrograd and Apothecary Island. It is located along the axis of the Grand Avenue and Avenue of the Medics. The bridge is 19.9 m by 24.3 m wide.

Peter and Paul wooden bridge was built in the alignment of the Peter and Paul streets in the early 20th century. The existing concrete bridge was built in 1967, in the new location, by engineer P. Ryazantseva and architect LA Noskov.
