Bank Bridge (Bankovsky most)or "Griffin Bridge" is a 25-meter-long pedestrian bridge crossing the Griboedov Canal near the Assignation Bank in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Like other bridges across the canal, the existing structure dates from 1826. The bridge engineer was Wilhelm von Traitteur, who conceived of a pedestrian separation structure suspended by cables. The bridge has undergone quite a few structural modifications since. It is best known for four sculptures of griffins crowning the abutments. They were designed by sculptor Pavel Sokolov (1764-1835), who also contributed lions for Bridge of Lions and sphinxes for Egyptian Bridge.
