The camera broadcasts a view of the Amur Bridge in Khabarovsk - this is a bridge thrown across the Amur River in the city of Khabarovsk, a true "engineering miracle", which is more than a hundred years old, the largest on the Trans-Siberian Railway and in all of Russia.
This magnificent colossal structure was once (until 1917) called "Alekseevsky", or "Tsarskoye" (now called the "Amur miracle") in honor of the heir to Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarevich Alexei. The construction took place in 1913-1916, and the consecrated bridge was opened very solemnly. The author of the project is Professor Lavr Dmitrievich Proskuryakov. The construction manager is engineer B.I.Khlebnikov; engineers V.A.Pinus, M.I. Malyshev and others also took part in the construction. The author of the project of the arched overpass is Grigory Petrovich Perederiy. The strong metal-concrete structure was the longest in the Old World (almost 2600 m, 64 m in height, 25 m in width) and the largest in the Eastern Hemisphere. The length of each of the 18 spans was 130 m.
In 1908, at the World Exhibition in Paris, the project of the Amur Bridge (like the Eiffel Tower) was awarded a gold medal.
The Amursky Bridge, which connected the opposite banks of the Amur, became the crown in the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Amur highway (Chita - Khabarovsk). Its construction was of invaluable importance for Khabarovsk and, undoubtedly, for Russia, especially in economic terms. Until 1975, the Khabarovsk bridge across the Amur was one such crossing over the river, until a railway bridge was erected near Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In the 80s. of the last century, the survey of the bridge determined that it needed reconstruction, since, although the bridge supports were in good condition, the arched part and spans were found to be in need of replacement, they even limited the speed of movement. In the 90s. the bridge was reconstructed, the old openwork spans were replaced. And they opened the Museum of the Amur Bridge, which guests of Khabarovsk visit with pleasure, and where, along with acquaintance with the past of the Amur Miracle, you can see a very interesting exhibit - one of its disassembled forms.
In the spring of 1996, during the reconstruction of the bridge during his election campaign, Russian President Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin came here. The Amursky Bridge is one of the most unique places of interest in Khabarovsk, whose history goes back more than a century for the benefit of Russians. His image is even used on a Russian 5000 RUB banknote.
