The Tuchkov Bridge, a drawbridge across the Malaya Neva in St. Petersburg, connects the Vasilyevsky and Petrogradsky Islands. In 1833-1835, the floating bridge was replaced by a multi-span wooden bridge with a beam-strut system on wooden pile supports with a double-wing adjustable span in the middle. The bridge was built in the alignment of Bolshoi Prospect of the Petersburg side with the construction of an earthen dam from the Malaya Neva River to the future Alexandrovsky Prospect (now Dobrolyubova Ave.). The adjustable span consisted of four wooden frames and was bred using hand winches. The roadway of the bridge was wooden, made up of crossbars and double plank flooring. The railings of the bridge were equipped with a railing of cast iron gratings of artistic casting with rectangular pedestals.
