The Finland Railway Bridge ((ロシア語:Финля́ндский железнодоро́жный мост)) is a pair of parallel rail bridges across the Neva River in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The movable bridges are on the Riihimäki–Saint Petersburg Railway and link the railway networks in the north of St Petersburg with those in the south of St Petersburg. The same singular name is applied to both of the bridges. ==History== The first bridge was built in 1910–1912 by the engineers Nikolay Appolonovich Belelyubsky, Grigory Grigorievich Krivoshein, I.G. Aleksandrov and the architect Vladimir Petrovich Apyshkov. The bridge was primarily funded by the Grand Duchy of Finland because of the strategic value it delivered by connecting the Finland railway and the Finnish State Railways with the Russian Railways system. In 1983, the reefer (refrigerated) ship ' hit the bridge while transporting a cargo of 500 tonnes of vendace fish. The ship sustained a hole in its hull and sank several hundred metres downstream in middle of the Neva river, halfway to the Alexander Nevsky Bridge. During 1983–1987, a second bridge, on the downstream side, was constructed parallel to the existing bridge by the engineer O.Y. Rusin. The spans of the new bridge followed the contours of the existing bridge arches. The central moving section of this second bridge is single-leaf bascule. Pedestrians and cyclists are banned from crossing the bridge on anti-terrorism grounds. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Finland Railway Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
