DVORTSOVY BRIDGE (1918-52 Republican Bridge, in honour of the Soviet Republic), across the Bolshaya Neva, joining Dvortsovy Passage with Birzhevaya (Stock Market) Square. Named after the Winter Palace. The project for a pontoon bridge was developed in about 1828 (engineer P.P. Bazen). From 1856-1912, in this position was St. Isaac’s Bridge. In 1879, experiments were performed with electric traffic lights by P.N. Yablochkov. The permanent Dvortsovy (Palace) Bridge was built in 1912-16 (engineers A.P. Pshenitsky and Colomensky Plants Society). Three competitions took place before the construction, in which 54 designs were entered. Dvortsovy Bridge is a metal, five spans, covered with an unbroken beam framework with curvilinear outline for the lower girdles. The navigation opening is a two wing, two span construction - the first in the world and a successful decision for the locking system of the third articulating arch. The piers are concrete with granite facing, and the bridge has a caisson foundation. In 1939, a cast iron handrail was added (architect L.A. Noskov, sculpture. I.V. Krestovsky), in 1956-57 parapets were added on the piers with red granite. In 1967 and 1977-78, a full overhaul was undertaken. In 1998, the tramline was removed from the bridge. In 2001, the transverse girders of the bridge were repaired and the links of the opening span. Length from alignment with the embankment 260.1 metres, width: 27.7 metres.

The Stone Creek Bridge Phase II deck pour occurred Tuesday April 26. This completes the second half of the bridge deck. This bridge is approximately 25km south of Prince George on Hwy 97 and this work is being completed as part of the Cariboo Connector project. The work also includes the four-laning of the highway on both sides of the bridge. It was truly a remarkable show as the operation was complicated with the placement and removal of approximately 160 concrete lock blocks to compensate the camber of the girders during the pour. Completing the concrete deck is one of the final components of this project since the foundations and structural steel spans have already been completed and the deck is the last of the three main components. The remainder of the bridge work includes: parapets, railing, and the deck form work removal prior to completion. www.tranbc.ca
Knaresborough is an historic market town, spa town and civil parish in the Borough of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is located on the River Nidd, 4 miles (6.4 km) east from the centre of Harrogate. An elegant stone viaduct over the River Nidd was built to carry a branch of the Leeds & Thirsk Railway. The four-span bridge stands 78ft high above the water, each span measuring 56ft 9in across. The arches of the bridge spring from halfway up the tall piers to form near-hemispheres. The rounded ends of the piers are extended upwards and finished in small, crenellated towers, which also adorn the stone parapets. More pronounced, half-hexagonal refuges top the abutments, marking the approach. The viaduct was designed to blend with the architecture of the town, and intended for completion in 1848. However, the near-complete viaduct collapsed on 11 March and took three and a half years to rebuild; the incomplete railway line was opened in October 1848 nonetheless (engineering timeline)
