Palace Bridge asphalt surgery shoves St. Petersburg into traffic hell

Workers launched the final phase of Palace Bridge asphalt replacement Saturday in central St. Petersburg. The project moved ahead of its original October 6 timeline as crews accelerated repairs on the major crossing. Officials from St. Petersburg State Public Institution Mostotrest confirmed the early start date. The third stage targets roadway sections connecting downtown areas to Vasilievsky Island.

Previous repair phases eliminated 3,900 square meters of deteriorated pavement across the bridge surface. The complete project will address 5,800 square meters of asphalt throughout all construction stages. Authorities reroute vehicle traffic onto newly finished lanes while maintaining two-way access. Public transportation continues operating with modified trolleybus paths until completion.

Traffic flows through two lanes per direction for private vehicles and buses during the construction period. Pedestrian movement remains unrestricted throughout the repair timeline. Workers concentrate efforts on approach lanes leading from the city center. The bridge serves as a vital transportation link for residents and visitors.
