The Lazarevsky Bridge spans the Malaya Nevka River in the line of Pionerskaya and Sportivnaya Streets in the Petrogradsky District of St. Petersburg. It connects Petrogradsky and Krestovsky Islands.

The need to build a bridge in this place was connected with the construction of the Kirov Stadium, located in Primorsky Victory Park on the western end of Krestovsky Island. The stadium was opened on July 30, 1950, and in 1947-1949, an 11-span wooden beam-split bridge with a drawbridge in the middle was built according to the design of engineer V.V. Blazhevich. Initially, the bridge was called Koltovsky after the adjacent embankments and streets, and in 1953 it was renamed in honor of the outstanding Russian scientist and Antarctic explorer Admiral M.P. Lazarev.

In 1976 and 1998, major repairs were carried out on the bridge. In 2008-2009, a complete reconstruction was carried out. The bridge was ceremonially opened for traffic on May 23, 2009. Lazarevsky Bridge became a single-span cable-stayed bridge, designed for the movement of cars and pedestrians. The structure is 172.4 meters long and 22.5 meters wide.
