One of the Small Chinese Bridges (Small Iron Bridges) crossing the Krestovy Canal. Originally wooden (1781), they were replaced with cast iron versions forged at the Sestroretsk Arms Factory in 1786. Designed by Charles Cameron, who also planned the nearby Chinese Village. The bridge features intricate iron lattice railings and is framed by distinctive porticoes formed of paired columns with "Chinese-style" curved sheet-iron roofs. The columns are painted to mimic colored marble, and the structure was fully restored in the 21st century.
