History

The Dekabristov Bridge was built in 1783-1787. It was made according to the standard design for the bridges of the Kryukov Canal. Dekabristov Bridge was a three-span wooden bridge on supports made of rubble masonry, and faced with granite. The central span was movable, and the side ones were girders. The author of the project is unknown.

In 1876, the bridge was rebuilt and broadened by Шаблон:Convert to lay a horse-drawn tram line.

In 1914, in connection with the increasing traffic on Officer Street, the bridge was rebuilt according to the design of engineer A.P. Pshenitsky, while its width increased from Шаблон:Convert. Additional piles were hammered in places for the expansion of the supports and a concrete slab was laid. For this, part of the Kryukov Canal water was pumped out, and the work was carried out in a dry pit. New railings were also installed.

In 1990, work was carried out to replace the granite parapet.
