Location
Located along the odd (northern) embankment of the Obvodny Canal , at the confluence of the Monastery in the Obvodny Canal.
Upstream there is an unnamed heat-bridge.
The nearest metro stations are “ Alexander Nevsky-1 Square ”, “ Alexander Nevsky-2 Square ”.
Title
The name has been known since 1842 [1] and is given by the nearby barracks of the Life Guards of the Cossack Regiment [2] . In the period from 1849 to 1875, the name Cossack Bridge was used [3] .
History
In 1832 - 1833 according to the project of engineer P.P. Bazen, a wooden arched bridge was built on the foundations of rubble stone [4] [5] . In 1883, the bridge was rebuilt into a wooden three-span strut-beam system with the correction of stone foundations (under the supervision of engineer M. F. Andersin ) [6] . The bridge was 48.6 m long and 9.7 m wide. In 1934, spans of wooden beams were replaced by welded metal [7] [5] . In 1965 , in connection with the construction of the Alexander Nevsky Bridge , the existing reinforced concrete bridge was erected. The authors of the project are engineer A. A. Sokolov and architect L. A. Noskov [7] .
Design
The bridge is single-span, reinforced concrete, beam-split system. The span consists of typical double-tee beams of constant height from prestressed reinforced concrete, interconnected by diaphragms. The abutments of monolithic reinforced concrete on a pile foundation are faced with granite. The total width of the bridge is 27 m, the length of the bridge is 27.5 m [7] [5] .
The carriageway of the bridge includes 5 lanes for the movement of vehicles. The covering of the roadway and sidewalks is asphalt concrete. The parapet reinforced concrete fencing of the carriageway in a metal shirt is installed on the bridge. The metal railing is similar to the railing of the Obvodny Canal embankment. Granite staircases leading to the lower tier of the embankment are arranged on the lower side of the bridge.
