Историческая справка
The first river crossing — a ferry — existed in the Okhta bend as early as 1913. The ferry connected Malaya Okhta with Matrosskaya Sloboda.
The Matrosskaya Sloboda was founded in the early 18th century on the right bank of the Okhta River, at the confluence of the Okkervil River. The settlement was mainly inhabited by retired sailors, which explains its name Matrosskaya meaning “Sailor’s”. By the beginning of the 20th century, Matrosskaya Sloboda was already an industrial area. About its history in 1939-1964 reminded the name of the now abolished Matrosskaya ulitsa.
In 1966-1968, a new three-span reinforced concrete bridge was built across the Okhta. The project of the new crossing was developed by Lengiproinzhproekt specialists. The bridge was named after prospekt Shaumyana. That, in turn, was named in honour of Stepan Georgiyevich Shaumyan, one of the twenty-six Baku commissars.
