Semyonovsky Bridge or Semenovsky Bridge ({{langx|ru|Семёновский Мост}}) is a bridge across the Fontanka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It carries the Gorokhovaya Street. It was opened in 1733 as a wooden bridge and became one of the first bridges across Fontanka. The bridge was rebuilt in stone in 1788, presumably, by Jean-Rodolphe Perronet). In 1857 the dilapidated pillars were rebuilt by engineer Fyodor Enrold. Almost a century later, in 1949, the pillars and main beams were reinstalled in metal.{{cite web
