Bridges of Arkhangelsk
Arkhangelsk is the final destination of the Northern Railway. This is a major railway junction. Due to the fact that the city is located on both banks of the Northern Dvina River and at its mouth, several bridges were built along its entire length. Among them are sliding, the most important and significant: Severodvinsk bridge ("old" bridge) and Krasnoflotsky bridge ("new" bridge). The construction of bridges in Arkhangelsk is necessary for passing high river vessels with cargo.
