The next bridge over the Griboedov Canal that we will visit is Kharlamov Bridge. The bridge received its name by the name of the state councilor Kharlamov, who lived in a house next door.
In 1753 a piled wooden one-span beam bridge was built on this site. At the beginning of the 19th century, the bridge was rebuilt into a wooden one-span but supported by a pavement lined with granite.
Only in 1934 a modern ferro-concrete bridge was built. The project was led by a professor, bridge engineer Grigory Petrovich Peredery.

So you found out about the Kharlamov Bridge. The main attraction of the bridge is the fact that one of the neighboring houses was a prototype of the house of the old woman-interest-holder from the novel of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment".
Thank you for attention. I wait for you again on the bridges of Petersburg.
