More information on Prachechnyi Most (Laundry Bridge)

This bridge is positioned where Palace and Kutuzov embankments meet at the source of the Fontanka river. It was built in the 1760s and was one of the city's first stone bridges. The granite-covered bridge is one of the most important elements along the Neva's showcase embankments. Granite steps lead down from the bridge to the pavements. The bridge's humpedness is due to the softening up of the embankments while they were being built. The wooden pile supports were well past their sell-by date when they finally got replaced at the start of the 20th century but repairs didn't affect the bridge's historical appearance.
