Nightly bridge openings separate the island from the central embankments.

Palace Bridge links Palace Square with Vasilyevsky Island through a cast-iron bascule structure designed for road vehicles and foot traffic. The mechanical spans lift during the night, which halts road transit and makes walking between these districts impossible until morning. An American engineering firm developed the lift machinery, while a French company handled assembly after earlier temporary pontoon crossings were phased out.

Әрі қарай оқу

Authorities enforced strict height restrictions during planning so the profile would never block views from Palace Embankment toward the Kunstkammer and the Imperial Academy of Arts. Insurrectionists captured the crossing without fighting during the revolution to secure municipal control. The structure carried the name Republican Bridge through part of the Soviet era before its historical title was restored and tram tracks were removed.
