This past Sunday, September the 1st, I published a Post showing some photos of the Golden (Horn) Bridge here in Vladivostok.

I am here-to-tell-you that there are two other bridges in Vladivostok. The Russky (Russian) Island Bridge and the Amur Bay Bridge.
I crossed the Amur Bay Bridge on the way from, and then returning to, the airport. I did not shoot any photographs because it is basically a concrete highway over the bay with no towers of any style. In fact I did not even think about the fact that I was crossing the third longest bridge in all of Russia!
The excellent link below will give you a great 'overview' of the three Vladivostok Bridges.

Last Saturday, August the 31st, the day that I snapped 393 photographs here in Vladivostok, I was able to cross the Russky (Russian) Island Bridge.
Below are some of the photos that I snapped.
I will begin by pointing out that the design of the bridge towers is significantly different in the two bridges.
I am going to begin with one, from-a-distance, photo of the Russky (Russian) Island Bridge.
Notice the very top of the two bridge towers. The top is narrow and one piece.
In the below photo you can clearly see what I mean when I say that the tops of the Russky (Russian) Island Bridge towers are narrow and one piece.
Below is a from-a-distance photo of the Golden (Horn) Bridge.
Even from-a-distance (look at the right tower) you can clearly see the significant difference!
Here we go across the Russky (Russian) Island Bridge.
We have finished crossing over to Russky Island.
Now we are going to turn around and head back.
Below is a photo that I should caption : 'Dumb Luck'.
We went from crossing the bridge to the beach.
I wrote Patti's name in the sand and in the below photo (without even realizing what I was doing) captured a nice, from-a-distance, photo of the bridge!
I hope that you enjoyed seeing (more than) a few photos of the Russky (Russian) Island Bridge.
Cap and Patti

Amazing that they were able to get three major bridges built in three years. And one connection reduced the time from one location to another from well over an hour to just five minutes. Impressive. Smiles and thanks for the tour! Patti
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Amazing says it all! A true insight into the ability of the Russians to get-things-accomplished. I am happy that I found the link I put into the Post. Suddenly, snap your fingers, Vladivostok had it much needed bridges. Fun to have been across the three of them. Thank You My Dear One for your comment. Love .. Cap
