Bridges on Neva branches start opening again this Sunday, April 20. The season includes Kantemirovsky, Grenadersky, and Sampsonievsky bridges. These crossings will keep opening for ships until November 15. Anyone who needs these bridges raised must ask two days before their ships need to pass. The St. Petersburg Mostotrest office shared this information recently.
These bridges open much less often than others in the city. Last year, each one opened only about six times, including test raises during winter. Compare that with Palace and Blagoveshchensky bridges, which opened 373 times each during the same period. River navigation just began throughout Petersburg's waterways. Ship captains plan their routes carefully around these scheduled openings. The city maintains these bridges for both road traffic and water vessels.
