It was built in 1875-79 (engineer А.Е. Struve) replacing the Voskresensky Pontoon Bridge, which had been relocated to the site around 1851; (from 1786 it was located at the alignment of Voskresensky Avenue; hence its name). The construction was preceded by an international tender (17 projects were submitted). The Liteiny Bridge has six spans; five of which were arched by open-spandrel arch trusses; the spin pivot of the opening span at the left side of the Neva River had diagonal deck-trusses. The cast iron railing of the Liteiny Bridge (architect K.K. Rakhau) contains a representation of the St. Petersburg coat of arms. The piers rest on a caisson foundation. Liteiny Bridge was the first bridge in St. Petersburg to have electrical illumination; from 1879 (Yablochkov candles in the lanterns were manufactured to architect C. А. Cavos's design). In 1965-67, a reconstruction of Liteiny Bridge took place (engineers L.А. Wildgrube, N.D. Shipov, K.P. Klochkov, architect Y.I. Sinitsa) retaining parts of the piers. The bridge has solid steel- reinforced concrete plate decks; the opening span was replaced with a pivoting single wing. In 1966-69, double-tier traffic intersections were constructed on both river banks. Length: (excluding the intersection tunnels) 396 metres, width: 34 metres.<br/><br/>References: Кириллов Н.
