The "Imperial" Bridge is a railway (and now also an automobile) bridge across the River Volga. The Chief Engineer was Nikolay, A. Belelyusky, and was constructed between 1913-1916. The fire in 1914 caused the third truss to collapse with severe damage to the first and second trusses.... The damage cost in the region of two million roubles.....
