Big Obukhovsky Bridge is the single fixed bridge over the Big Neva.  The first stage of the bridge was opened to traffic on 15 December 2004 and the second stage – on 19 October 2007.  At that time it was the longest and widest bridge in St. Petersburg and in Russia.  The design of the bridge was developed in a very short time. The design solutions provided for intensive navigation at the bridge site. The bridge features an integrated structural health/engineering utilities monitoring system and a heated storm water drainage system.  

Institute Stroyproekt was the main designer of the Ring Road Southern Section, of which the bridge is a part, and the lead designer of the Ring Road engineering structures.
