Amur Bridge
The **Amur Bridge**, also known as the **Khabarovsk Bridge**, is a historic railway and road bridge spanning the Amur River near Khabarovsk, Russia. Completed in 1916, it was a key engineering feat of the Trans-Siberian Railway, linking eastern Russia with the rest of the country. During the Russian Civil War, it was a strategic site, and it was later rebuilt in the 1990s to accommodate modern traffic while preserving its iconic arched design.
