Strognovskyi bridge lies near the port, and built over a Karantinnaya beam. It’s called on behalf of Russian general-governor and the first Honorable Citizen of Odessa count Stroganov.
The landscape where Odessa was built, has a few large beams: Vodyanaya (where the Balkovskaya street located), Voennaya (goes down from Deribasovskaya through Gavannaya streets to Voennyi descent) and the Bolshaya Karantinnaya, which goes down to the port. That is why there were a lot of bridges in Odessa since the city’s birth. Since the founding even Deriasovskaya has an own bridge, but it was filled later. The biggest bridge in Odessa before the Revolution was certainly Stroganovskyi bridge.
The projects of this bridge were sent to Sankt-Petersburg since 1840th years, but the capital did not gave an approval of any of them. When the one project was finally approved, the building continued to ten years, from 1852 till 1863. Under the manual of architect Gonsiorovskiy bridge was built by the contractor Butirskiy. In fact, Stroganovskyi consists two bridges, connected by the mound. The longitude of the bridge with arches and stone blocks formed 120 meters.

The tram strated to go there in 1911. After a few years of overload and also because of ground waters the bridge which was built from the ephemeral coquina, was almost completely restored. Not we can see only an old railing and the one aperture from the one side of Devolanovskyi descent.
