In Primorsk (Kaliningrad region) an old steel bridge has been preserved. Many sources call it the smallest drawbridge in Europe.
It consists of two spans, separated by an opening for the passage of high boat masts, which the fishermen who sailed here once needed. The width of the opening is about half a meter, it is covered by four hinged doors made of sheet steel.
The width of the bridge is 4.75 m, the span from the Kaliningrad bay side is 11.9 m, and from the city side it is 11.85 m.
