The most beautiful bridges in the world. The largest and most beautiful bridges in the world (20 photos) Langkawi Sky Bridge, Malaysia

Not only abroad... 11 bridges of Russia that deserve to be recognized on photographs.

Golden Gate in San Francisco, Tower Bridge in London, Brooklyn Bridge in New York. These masterpieces of engineering are inextricably linked with their city, because a bridge is not just a road in the air, but also a business card, a tangible symbol that connects people, shores and even countries. By the way, Russia is not the last in the world in terms of the number of unusual viaducts that amaze viewers with their grandeur.

1. Zhivopisny Bridge, Moscow

It is no coincidence that the Zhivopisny Bridge spanning the Moscow River is considered a decoration of the capital. Opened in 2007, it fully lives up to its name: like a fan woven from huge red cables, the bridge cuts the river diagonally, revealing a truly beautiful view. On one side, the bridge meets Marshal Zhukov Avenue, on the other, it goes into the North-West Tunnel, one of the longest in Moscow.

However, the main highlight of the bridge is the glass ellipsoid, which floats in the air like a flying saucer. Initially, this capsule was supposed to become a restaurant, but the idea remained unrealized due to the impossibility of carrying communications here. Therefore, it was decided to convert the giant ellipse into a registry office, connecting the destinies of lovers at an altitude of 100 m above the ground. The opening of the “heavenly office” is planned for 2016.

2. Palace Bridge, St. Petersburg

White nights and drawbridges are symbols of St. Petersburg. However, if the first ones can be enjoyed exclusively in the summer, then nothing prevents you from seeing the Palace Bridge, which opens every night. Note that it takes only three minutes to bring the span together and move apart, despite the fact that each lifting part weighs at least 700 tons.

During festive events, the divorced parts are used as a screen for showing documentaries. The rest of the time, the most “postcard” bridge in St. Petersburg, connecting Admiralteysky Island and the Spit of Vasilievsky Island, gathers couples in love, tourists and ordinary citizens.

3. Amur Bridge, Khabarovsk

The Amur Bridge is an example of amazing resilience. He withstood all the tests fate had in store for him. Among them were the First World War and the Civil War.

The construction of the “Amur miracle” at the beginning of the twentieth century was the final stage in the creation of the longest road in the world - the Trans-Siberian Railway. It is no coincidence that in 1908 the bridge project received a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris, and at the time of construction it was recognized as the longest bridge in the Old World, Asia and Africa (2600 m). Today it is considered an unspoken symbol of Khabarovsk, as well as the pride of Russia. His image can be seen on the 5000th banknote of the Bank of Russia.

4. Rope Bridge, Nizhny Novgorod

You can observe the beautiful Volga from a bird's eye view in Nizhny Novgorod. It was here that the longest and highest cable bridge (cable car) in Europe was built, serving as a crossing from Nizhny Novgorod to Bor (Nizhny Novgorod satellite town). Built using French technology, it is considered one of the most environmentally friendly and economical in the country. For 90 rub. Not only will you save time by avoiding traffic jams, but you will also be able to admire the picturesque landscape. The rope bridge is always popular among citizens and tourists seeking panoramic views.

5. Russian Bridge, Vladivostok

The Russian Bridge is one of the most ambitious projects in Russia. Built in 2012 in preparation for the APEC summit, it became the only road connecting the Nazimov Peninsula with Russky Island, where previously only ferries were used for transportation.

At the time of construction, it was recognized as the largest cable-stayed bridge in the world. The Russian giant boasts record-breaking pylons (about 320 m) and the longest span in the world (1104 m), which makes the pearl of the Eastern Bosphorus a magnet for foreign tourists. Thus, according to TripAdvisor, the bridge was included in the top ten most interesting tourist places in Russia, and National Geographic included Vladivostok in the top 10 cities with the most picturesque views of the sea.

6. Dancing Bridge, Volgograd

If you won’t surprise anyone with a dancing house in Europe, then the dancing bridge in Volgograd is still ready to strike a chord. In any case, in 2010, the news that he would deign to dance simply excited the Russian Internet community. The video about how the crossing of the Volga sways vertically in time with the wind was actively discussed on blogs and forums. Experts have not yet figured out what provoked the active dance steps, the amplitude of which reached 1 m, but traffic was suspended for several days. After damage to the supports was ruled out, the bridge began operating as usual again, and in 2011, dampers were installed - special devices to dampen excessive vibrations.

7. “Millennium”, Kazan

The design of the M-shaped bridge is unique in its own way: to create the anniversary project, both cable-stayed and beam systems were used simultaneously. Although a cable-stayed bridge can only be considered nominally, since given the existing span sizes, such a structure is technologically completely unnecessary and is used only as a decorative element. However, this does not prevent the “thousand-year-old” miracle from being considered the highest bridge in Kazan. Moreover, it is provided not only for motorists, but also for pedestrians, for whom an isolated sidewalk has been created, guaranteeing safe walking.

8. Skybridge, Sochi

Chilling horror and complete delight can be experienced on the Skybridge pedestrian bridge, located in the Sochi Skypark (the center of extreme adventures). A walk along this longest suspension bridge in the world (435 m) stretching over the Mzymta River will be a real test for anyone.

An unusual cable car is located above the Akhshtyr Gorge (200 m down), whose picturesque views make all the worries and fears worth it. And if heights don’t scare you, then you can also tickle your nerves at local attractions by jumping from a height of 69 or 207 m. For those who are not yet ready to dive headfirst into the abyss, observation platforms are equipped. Despite the apparent instability of the structures, the bridge is absolutely safe and can withstand colossal loads from hurricane winds to earthquakes. It is no coincidence that the preparation for its construction took three whole years. You can get to the adventure park by a free shuttle that departs from the Trout Farm stop, or by city bus No. 131.

9. Presidential Bridge, Ulyanovsk

Despite some provincialism, the Presidential Bridge is similar to the Golden Gate in San Francisco. A reminder of the Californian pearl is the design of the first support, which is surprisingly similar to the American prototype.

10. “Bagration”, Moscow

Watching the Moscow River, having intimate conversations while sitting on a bench, or just thinking about your own things while inhaling the tart aroma of hot coffee - all this can be done on Bagration, the first shopping and pedestrian bridge in the capital.

There are no strong winds here - the bridge is reliably covered with a glass shield against bad weather. It has two levels: panoramic windows are installed on the lower passage, and an observation deck is equipped on the upper passage, which is popular among tourists, lovers, as well as selfie fans and connoisseurs of the urban landscapes of the Moscow City center. On both tiers of the bridge there are shops, cafes and even a travel agency with a beauty salon, so you can become the proud owner of a trip for two or a trendy haircut.

Oddly enough, the idea of turning a bridge into a shopping center is not new. The creators simply brought to life the medieval concept of bridge construction, when river crossings served both as an entrance to the city and as a meeting place for merchants and their customers. You can visit Bagration, woven from glass and concrete, from 7 am to 12 midnight.

11. Bugrinsky Bridge, Novosibirsk

In terms of the elegance of its lines, it is somewhat reminiscent of Zhivopisny in Moscow. And although the Siberian giant does not have a “flying” registry office, from a technological point of view it has no equal in the country: the bridge is surrounded by 156 cables attached to a record-breaking 380-meter arch, recognized as the largest not only in Russia, but also in the CIS. By the way, the grand opening ceremony in 2014 took place with the personal participation of the President of Russia.

Dancing, divorce, lovers - it's all about bridges. Some of them are known for incredible stories associated with them, others are distinguished by architectural delights. One of the most outstanding bridges in the post-Soviet space is the South Bridge in the capital of Ukraine Kyiv, which opened on December 20, 1990. Then it was the longest of the bridges in the former republics of the USSR. Today about the very best bridges in the CIS.

South Bridge in Kyiv

The Southern Bridge is a giant Kiev bridge 8.8 km long (1,256 km pass over the Dnieper) and 40 meters wide. It is raised 135 meters above the water surface.

The bridge was built over the course of 8 years and at the time of its opening in 1990 it was considered the most modern and longest in the Soviet Union. $220 million was spent on its construction. The uniqueness of this bridge is that it combines automobile traffic and the metro line at one level.

The tower pylon of the giant bridge, whose height is 110 meters, is visible from almost anywhere in Kyiv. Inside the pylon there is a spiral staircase, which is used by repairmen and extreme photographers. Lanterns are built into the bridge towers, providing safety for flying aircraft at dusk.

Double-decker bridge in Khabarovsk

This bridge was seen by everyone who held a 5,000-dollar Bank of Russia bill in their hands. It depicts the Khabarovsk Bridge, which connects the banks of the Amur. The construction of this bridge in 1916 marked the completion of the longest railway line in the world - the Trans-Siberian Railway. The bridge was reconstructed in 2009. The uniqueness of the Khabarovsky Bridge is that it has 2 tiers - cars move on the upper tier, and trains move on the lower tier. The total length of the bridge with overpasses is 3890 meters.

Red Dragon Bridge

The road bridge in Khanty-Mansiysk, built in 2004 and connecting the banks of the Irtysh, is called “Red Dragon”, since the intricacy of its metal structures from a distance resembles some kind of fairy-tale creature sprawled on the river bank. The total weight of this structure, which was erected using the unique “arch-truss-beam” technology, is 11 tons. The total length of the Red Dragon, consisting of 14 spans, is 1315.9 meters. There is no other similar structure in Russia.

Krasnoyarsk Communal Bridge

Another bridge with a Russian banknote is located in Krasnoyarsk. His image can be seen on the 10-ruble note. The bridge was built during the time of Nikita Khrushchev, and for a long time it held the title of the longest bridge in Asia. The length of this bridge, which connected the banks of the Yenisei, is 2300 meters. The builders of the Krasnoyarsk Bridge used a unique technology: the construction and closure of the bridge arches without safety supports. This made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of construction and reduce its time. The tectonic image of the communal bridge made it one of the main symbols of Siberia.

"Dancing Bridge" in Volgograd

The bridge across the Volga, which is located in Volgograd, has glorified this city throughout the world. In 2010, the bridge was subjected to critical wind loads, which caused it to sway in the vertical plane. The amplitude of the bridge's vertical vibrations was then about 1 meter, but neither the bridge supports nor the road surface were damaged. This was the reason why the bridge began to be called “dancing”. The bridge was secured after installing special shock absorbers - dampers.

Suspension bridge in Semey (Kazakhstan)

The suspension bridge in Semey (Kazakhstan), which is only the 17th such structure in the world, was built with the participation of specialists from the Japanese company IHI. It passes through the Irtysh and connects Russia, Kazakhstan and China, but recently it was left without an owner, since the city is not able to maintain such an object. The total length of the bridge is 1086 meters, the length of the main span is 750 meters. The high pylons of the bridge have recently increasingly attracted suicidal citizens. There are several known cases when rescuers and police had to remove unbalanced people from there.

Bridge in Disna (Belarus)

The oldest road bridge in Belarus (it is said that it is more than a hundred years old) is located in the city of Disna, whose population is only 2,000 people. The bridge supports are made of stone, the spans are made of metal, and the decking is wooden. The latter fact is the reason why buses are prohibited from crossing this bridge.

Palace Bridge in St. Petersburg

Perhaps the most famous bridge in St. Petersburg, which is also a symbol of this city, spans the Bolshaya Neva and connects the center of northern Palmyra with Vasilyevsky Island. The construction of this bridge began in 1912, and already in 1916, 34 cars with a load of more than 600 pounds drove onto the bridge to test its strength. The decoration of the bridge was not done at that time - only wooden railings were installed. They were replaced with cast iron ones with Soviet symbols already in 1939, and individual wooden structures stood until 1978. It is worth noting that in 1917 the Palace Bridge was renamed the Republican Bridge, and its historical name was returned to it only in 1944.

No matter how hard the architects tried to “bring” the bridge closer to the water, it still covers more than half of the buildings of the Admiralty, the Exchange and the Kunstkamera. It was simply impossible to escape this, given the low banks of the Neva and the preservation of conditions for navigation. The length of the bridge, consisting of five spans, is 250 meters, and the width is 27.7 meters.

Today, during various events, the spread wings of the bridge are used as a projection screen for showing documentaries.

Zhivopisny Bridge in Moscow

The Zhivopisny Bridge in Serebryany Bor was opened in 2007, connects the banks of the Moscow River and is part of Krasnopresnensky Prospekt. There are many cable-stayed bridges in the world, but the design of the Zhivopisny Bridge is so unique that it has become one of the main attractions of the capital.

The bridge is an arched structure with a fan arrangement of cables. Noise barriers were installed on both sides of the bridge. At the top point of the arch, according to the project, it was planned to place an observation deck, but later questions were considered about placing a restaurant, a television studio and, finally, a registry office in a hanging ellipsoidal module. However, this unique facility has not yet been put into operation. The module itself (length - 33 m, width - 24 m, height - 13 m) is fixed on the bridge, but there are no elevators yet.

The length of the Zhivopisny Bridge is 1460 meters, the width is 37 meters, the number of cables is 72, the height of the arch is 105 meters. The bridge is raised above the surface of the water to a height of 30 meters. The bridge foundations are made on drilled piles with a diameter of 1.5 meters and a length of 20-40 meters. Each bridge foundation is based on 60 piles.

The longest bridge in Russia

The longest bridge in Russia is the bridge over the Kama River, which is the largest tributary of the Volga and is famous for its. The bridge is located near the village of Sorochi Gory and is an element of the P239 highway. The total length of the bridge, the construction of which began in 1992 and was commissioned in 2002, is 13,967 meters (1,608 meters passes through the Kama, and 69.8 meters and 549.9 meters across the Kurlyanka and Arkharovka rivers, respectively).

It is worth noting that the idea of building this bridge was discussed back in Tsarist Russia, then it was returned to in the 1930s. After all, in the fall and during the period of ice drift it was simply impossible to cross the Kama. In winter, only cars weighing no more than 5 tons could drive onto the ice, and buses were prohibited from crossing the river. People had to cross the river on foot – 7 km. The longest Russian bridge solved all these problems.

Architectural genius is most clearly demonstrated in the creation of bridges. Famous bridges of the world! It is they, having a completely justified practical need, that often become unique symbols of countries and cities, making both famous world capitals and remote picturesque corners recognizable. From a huge number of these objects, we have selected the 10 most beautiful bridges in the world and are publishing a very arbitrary TOP 10, since there are many original and stunningly magnificent bridges in the world. And yet, using generally accepted criteria for the beauty of architectural objects, we tried to compile this list, which includes recognized examples of bridge architecture of past centuries, and new items that surprise contemporaries with the grandeur of their design and execution.

Millow Bridge (viaduct)

The list entitled “The Most Beautiful Bridges in the World” opens with the Millow Bridge, opened in December 2004 and today the largest suspended structure in the world.

Rising majestically above the valley of Tarn, located in the south of France, at an altitude of 343 meters, the Millou road bridge creates a feeling of stunning flight for everyone passing over it. The architecture of the bridge also contributes to this illusion - it is light, as if flying. Exceeding the height of the famous Eiffel Tower, the viaduct also leads the world list of the tallest bridges. The grandiose 8-span structure is placed on seven supports and weighs 36 thousand tons. A viaduct in the shape of a semicircle with a radius of 20 km was erected; its length is 2.4 km.

Royal Gorge Bridge

Our list, called “The Most Beautiful Bridges in the World,” would be incomplete without the famous American bridge, built in 1929.

It spreads over and has long become one of the most famous attractions of the region. The monumentality of the structure is organically combined with the amazing lightness of the structures, and the height of 305 meters makes it possible to enjoy the unforgettable mountain scenery of this picturesque area. The length of the structure is 385 m.

Spain: Puente de Piedra Bridge

Puente de Piedra across the Ebro River has long been recognized as one of the most visited by tourists, rightfully occupying one of the leading places in our ranking of “The Most Beautiful Bridges in the World”. The photo presented in the article demonstrates the integrity and elegance of the structure. Located in the city center near the Basilica of El Pilar, this bridge is also known as the Lion Bridge, as it is decorated with four symbolic sculptures of lions.

It is also famous for the duration of its construction: it took 40 years to build, and was completely reconstructed in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, the Puente de Piedra bridge is a historical and architectural monument that appeared in the 15th century, and, at the same time, a powerful transport artery, extremely important for the economic health of the entire country.

Hong Kong: Tsin Ma Bridge

The list of “The largest and most beautiful bridges in the world” includes the famous Hong Kong Tsin Ma suspension bridge - one of the world’s masterpieces of architecture, which has become a kind of symbol of the country and a landmark for tourists.

Graceful and amazingly beautiful (especially when illuminated at night), the bridge connects the city with Lantau Island. In addition, being an essential part of the infrastructure of Hong Kong International Airport, Tsin Ma provides highway and rail connections. The bridge was put into operation in 1997. Its length is very impressive - 2.2 km, and the main span is 1.4 km.

Argentina: Women's Bridge (Puente de la Mujer)

In the category “The most beautiful bridges in the world” it is impossible not to include the most interesting Argentine Women’s Bridge. The history of the creation of this unique swing bridge is amazing. The architect was inspired by the graceful movements of a couple dancing the Argentine tango. Located in Buenos Aires, this 170-meter graceful swing bridge spans the Rio de la Plata and connects two streets: Pierina Dealessi and Manuela Gorriti in the city's Puerto Madero district. The bridge opened at the end of 2001, and it immediately became a city landmark.

The bridge is pedestrian. It is 6.2 m wide, delimited into 3 sections, 2 of which, 25 and 32.5 m long, are fixed and located along the banks, while the middle part rotates on a concrete support base and is capable of clearing the fairway for passing ships in 2 minutes. This movable section of the bridge is equipped with a giant 34-meter metal “needle”. The cables holding the middle part of the bridge are in contact with the “needle”, the inclination of which above the surface of the water is 39°. A special support protruding from the water balances the end of the middle section when rotated 90°. Controlling the entire operation of this magnificent structure, the computer system turns on the turning mechanism when necessary.

UK: in Gateshead

This is the first tilting bridge, which has no analogues yet. He has received many architectural prizes and awards. Implementing a unique project of a pedestrian bridge, necessary for the city, but not interfering with river navigation, a unique 850-ton structure with a length of 126 m was erected in 2001.

The bridge consists of two steel arches, one of which rises in a semicircle above the water, reaching a height of 50 m at the top, the second is a pedestrian roadway under which low ships can pass. When a tall vessel approaches, the arches begin to move towards each other, turning 40°, and connect. The duration of such a maneuver is 4.5 minutes. Upon completion, both canvases are balanced and raised above the water at a height of 25 meters. People aptly dubbed this turn the “winking eye.”

Singapore: Henderson Wave Bridge

The bridge over Henderson Road is an extraordinary structure that resembles a huge snake wrapped around a tree branch. In 2008, the most beautiful bridges on earth were complemented by this ingenious pedestrian structure. The leader in height among Singapore's bridges, it immediately won the love of the city's residents.

The basis of the bridge was a frame of characteristically curved steel ribs, alternately rising above the deck. The original frame cladding made of special types of wood perfectly withstands climatic vicissitudes. The Henderson Wave Bridge connects two city parks. The undulating 7-section structure, 294 m long, seems to float at a 36-meter height above a busy highway. In the inner bends of the bridge there are comfortable niches equipped with benches and chairs where you can relax while admiring the picturesque views. The external “waves” also act as a roof, creating excellent protection from wind and sun. The Henderson Wave Bridge is stunning at any time of the day, but is particularly stunning at sunrise or sunset. At night, it is illuminated with garlands of LEDs and becomes romantic and mysterious.

Italy: Rialto Bridge

The oldest, stretching over the Grand Canal, is the pearl of world bridge construction and a popular attraction, occupying a worthy place in the list of “The most beautiful famous bridges in the world.”

The stone structure, which replaced the original wooden structure, was erected at the end of the 16th century. It connects the urban areas of San Polo and San Marco. The 48-meter Rialto Bridge, based on 12,000 piles, is a pedestrian bridge consisting of one traditional arch. The width of the structure is 22 m. Today, as in the heyday of Italy, the bridge has not lost its popularity: it is always lively and loved by city residents and tourists.

French Pont du Gard

This Roman bridge, which has stood the test of time, is under the protection of UNESCO. Built in ancient times, the three-level bridge is still a place of pilgrimage for tourists from many countries. The Pont du Gard is an aqueduct connecting the banks of the Gardon River near the French city of Nîmes. Its dimensions are remarkable, they surprise and shock at the same time: the length of the bridge is 275 m, and the height reaches 47 m. Pont du Garce is not just a majestic ancient Roman aqueduct, here every stone remembers fascinating historical events. The construction of this unique structure dates back to the 19th year BC. e., but none of the scientists can explain how exactly it was built.

The three-tier aqueduct is part of a 50-kilometer water supply system that supplies water for the needs of the citizens of Nîmes. Over more than 2000 years of history, changes have occurred; the aqueduct has long ceased to serve as a water supply system, remaining a majestic crossing.

in London

The TOP 10 “The most beautiful bridges in the world” is completed by the famous drawbridge over the Thames, located not far from the Tower. This British icon, built in the Victorian Gothic style, was built in 1894 and is a 244-meter structure with two 65-meter towers. The length of the span between them is 61 m, and the span itself is divided into 2 movable wings, capable of rising by 83° and equipped with a special counterweight, making it possible to open the bridge within one minute.

For pedestrians in the building, in addition to the provided sidewalks, galleries have been built that unite the towers at a height of 44 m. Today they house a museum and an observation deck.

We tried to list and characterize the most beautiful bridges in the world. The photos and names of the bridges are different, but they are similar in one thing: these majestic structures were created by brilliant masters and have become unique monuments of architectural art.

Zhivopisny Bridge, Moscow

Palace Bridge, St. Petersburg

Amur Bridge, Khabarovsk

The Amur Bridge is an example of amazing resilience. He withstood all the tests fate had in store for him. Among them were the First World War and the Civil War.
The construction of the “Amur miracle” at the beginning of the twentieth century was the final stage in the creation of the longest road in the world - the Trans-Siberian Railway. It is no coincidence that in 1908 the bridge project received a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris, and at the time of construction it was recognized as the longest bridge in the Old World, Asia and Africa (2600 m). Today it is considered an unspoken symbol of Khabarovsk, as well as the pride of Russia. His image can be seen on the 5000th banknote of the Bank of Russia.

Rope Bridge, Nizhny Novgorod

Russian Bridge, Vladivostok

Dancing Bridge, Volgograd

"Millennium", Kazan

“Meңyellyk” translated from Tatar means “millennium”. That is why the bridge, built for the 1000th anniversary of Kazan, is decorated with a giant letter “M”, beautifully illuminating the water surface of the Kazanka River and the nearby streets of the city at night.
The design of the M-shaped bridge is unique in its own way: to create the anniversary project, both cable-stayed and beam systems were used simultaneously. Although a cable-stayed bridge can only be considered nominally, since given the existing span sizes, such a structure is technologically completely unnecessary and is used only as a decorative element. However, this does not prevent the “thousand-year-old” miracle from being considered the highest bridge in Kazan. Moreover, it is provided not only for motorists, but also for pedestrians, for whom an isolated sidewalk has been created, guaranteeing safe walking.

"Skybridge", Sochi

Presidential Bridge, Ulyanovsk

Approaching Ulyanovsk, the beautiful Volga spreads up to four tens of kilometers in width. Therefore, you should not be surprised that it was in Ulyanovsk that the Presidential Bridge was built - one of the largest river bridges in Europe and the longest in Russia. Its length, including the approaches, is almost 13 km (the length of the bridge alone is 5.8 km).
Despite some provincialism, the Presidential Bridge is similar to the Golden Gate in San Francisco. A reminder of the Californian pearl is the design of the first support, which is surprisingly similar to the American prototype.

"Bagration", Moscow

Bugrinsky Bridge, Novosibirsk

This bridge connecting the banks of the Ob is undoubtedly the most beautiful and popular in the capital of Siberia. The fact that the Bugrinsky Bridge enjoys special love among the townspeople is evidenced by numerous photo sessions that regularly appear on the Internet.
